Published 11th April 2024

Expert Reviewed By
April is Awareness Month, so let’s the intricacies of this common yet often challenging skin condition, delving into the causes, symptoms and available treatments to help you better understand and manage rosacea.
What is Rosacea?
is more than just having rosy cheeks now and again. While occasional flushing can be normal, rosacea is a long-term skin condition that is characterised by redness, dilated blood vessels and stinging sensations. In some cases, the presence of spots and sebaceous gland hyperplasia, which involves enlarged oil glands.
The cause of this skin condition elusive, but factors such as genetics, the immune system and environmental play roles., which include:
Reducing exposure to your personal triggers can significantly improve flushing and help calm the skin. This is a key part of rosacea day to day.
Yes, there are several subtypes of rosacea. Here is a short summary to understand them briefly:
The exact cause of rosacea is complex. Genetics play a role, but they don’t guarantee you’ll develop it. There are also links with, gut health and multiple triggers that influence severity.
This is why at Thames Skin Clinic, we take a holistic approach rosacea treatment, looking at emotional health, lifestyle, diet and medical treatment together.
Rosacea in the UK: Facts and Figures
Rosacea is far more common than many people realise. 1 in 10 people in the UK are affected by rosacea, which is why rosacea awareness is important.
These facts are a reminder that rosacea’s effects extend well beyond the skin.
Rosacea and Mental Health
Rosacea isn’t just about the skin. Rosacea Awareness Month is also an opportunity to highlight the emotional and psychological effects of the condition, which can be just as significant as the physical symptoms but are far less often discussed.
Stress, mental health and rosacea are closely linked, and many people find themselves caught in a difficult cycle. cause stress, stress worsens the flare-up, discomfort affects sleep, lack of sleep increases stress – and so it continues. It goes both ways: mental health struggles can worsen rosacea, and rosacea can worsen mental health.
This doesn’t mean controlling stress and mental health cures rosacea, but it can be a key part of it.
Helpful approaches include:
Taking care of your emotional wellbeing is just as important as treating your skin.
Breaking Down Rosacea Myths
Rosacea is one of the most misunderstood skin conditions, often just simplified to ???sensitive skin’. Here are some of the most common misconceptions, set straight.
Myth: Rosacea is caused by drinking alcohol.
This is not entirely true. While alcohol can be a trigger that flushing in some people, it does not cause rosacea. The condition is linked to genetics, immune system responses and environmental factors.
Myth: It’s just sensitive skin.
Rosacea is a chronic medical condition, not a passing phase of skin sensitivity. Without proper management, symptoms typically persist and often worsen over time.
Rosacea only affects older women.
While rosacea is more commonly diagnosed in women and tends to emerge from the age of 30 onwards, it affects people of all and ages., men and even young children and babies.
Myth: Rosacea only affects fair skin.
Rosacea is more prevalent in fair skin tones. However, it does occur across all skin tones. In, which can make more difficult and means it is more likely to go and untreated for longer.
Myth: There’s nothing you can do about it.
This is simply not true, and it’s one of the most important myths to dispel during Rosacea Awareness Month. While there is currently no permanent cure, there is a great deal that can be done. With the right combination of trigger management, skincare and clinical treatments, many people with rosacea achieve significant and lasting in their skin.
Thames Skin Clinic founder has been very vocal about her experience with rosacea. In fact, it’s one of the reasons she immersed herself in the world of medical aesthetics and, more specifically, skin transformation. Her first-hand experience with the condition allows her to lead her patients with empathy and genuine passion as they too learn to live with rosacea.
We say "live with" rosacea because, at present, there is no permanent cure. This is why it’s so important to manage skin health carefully to flare-ups and provide relief from the discomfort associated with them.
It’s important to recognise that effective management requires a tailored approach that considers your individual triggers and the unique of your skin.
