Symptoms of rosacea
Although the appearance of rosacea can impact self-esteem and be uncomfortable to live with, there are a number of effective ways to manage inflammation and minimise the likelihood of future flare-ups.
Rosacea can be categorised into four types; vascular, inflammatory, phymatous and ocular rosacea. Regardless of the type of rosacea you have, common symptoms will present as redness of the skin and visible blood vessels.
Common symptoms of rosacea include:
- Frequent blushing on the cheeks, chin and forehead
- Persistent redness that looks like sunburn
- Visible blood vessels on the face
- Skin thickening, particularly around the nose area
- Bumps on the face
- Burning or stinging sensations on the face
- Red, irritated, or swollen eyelids

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 is an inflammatory condition that exclusively affects the face. However, in some cases people may experience symptoms on their ears, eyes, neck, upper back, and chest.
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.
Unfortunately, there’s no cure for rosacea, however the condition is manageable with appropriate treatments prescribed by a clinician or skin specialist.
