Types of rosacea
Vascular
Appears as red patches on the face, with some patients also experiencing visible blood vessels in the affected areas.
Inflammatory
Similar to the vascular rosacea, in the way of severe facial redness. With inflammatory rosacea, however, people also develop red bumps and pustules on the face.
Phymatous
Defined by thickening of the skin, which generally affects the nose and causes the surface to become bumpy.
Ocular
Inflammation of the eyes and eyelids. The degree of severity differs greatly as some people will have no visible symptoms, whilst others will experience severe discomfort and swelling of the eyes.

Rosacea FAQs
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that occurs when tiny blood vessels on the skin’s surface (capillaries) enlarge and break to cause inflammation, redness, and the appearance of flushing.
How is rosacea treated?
Since the symptoms of rosacea vary for each person, personalised treatment must be prescribed by a medical professional on a case-by-case basis. Depending on severity of symptoms, a range of oral and topical medications can be used to treat redness and control flare ups. Long-term anti-inflammatory therapy may be prescribed to maintain remission. Laser therapies and lifestyle modifications may also be recommended.
Can rosacea be cured?
Unfortunately, there’s no cure for rosacea, however the condition is manageable with appropriate treatments prescribed by a clinician or skin specialist.
