April is recognised internationally as Rosacea Awareness Month.
Rosacea is a common skin condition that can cause persistent facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and skin sensitivity. For some people, symptoms may come and go. For others, they may be more constant.
Common triggers can include sun exposure, heat, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress. Learning your individual triggers can be an important part of understanding how your skin responds to different factors.
If you notice ongoing redness or sensitivity that does not settle, it may be helpful to seek medical advice.
An assessment can help determine whether rosacea or another skin condition may be involved.
Skin concerns are individual, and management approaches vary from person to person. A consultation allows time to discuss your skin history, symptoms, and suitable care options.
