Redness & Skin Sensitivity
Rosacea, skin redness and skin sensitivity affect around 5% of the global population. Rosacea is often misdiagnosed and or mistaken for acne, dermatitis or other skin conditions. It's important to get the correct diagnosis from a trained professional Dermatologist.
As there is no known cure for Rosacea, it is best to manage the skin flare-ups and ensure the skin barrier is well-maintained.
Common Causes of Redness & Skin Sensitivity
Genetics
A family history of rosacea can make you more prone to developing it. Certain genetic factors can affect how your skin reacts to environmental triggers.
Environmental Triggers
Various external factors can trigger or worsen redness and irritation. These can include:
- Sun exposure: UV rays can irritate sensitive skin.
- Temperature extremes: Both heat and cold can cause flare-ups.
- Wind: It can dry out skin, leading to more redness.
- Spicy foods: These can trigger blood vessels to dilate, leading to redness.
Skin Sensitivity
Some people's skin is naturally more sensitive, leading to reactions like redness or burning, even to products that wouldn't normally irritate others.
Immune System Response
Some researchers believe that rosacea could be related to an overactive immune system, where the body mistakenly inflames blood vessels in the skin.
Microbial Factors
A type of bacteria called Demodex mites, which are found on the skin, might contribute to rosacea in some people. These mites can irritate the skin or trigger an immune response.
Hormones
Hormonal changes, particularly in women, might play a role, which is why rosacea often appears during the 30s-50s and may worsen around menopause.
Certain Medications or Skin Products
Some medications, especially steroids, and harsh skin care products can contribute to skin redness or trigger rosacea-like symptoms.
Managing triggers, using gentle skin care, and avoiding known irritants can help minimise flare-ups. If you're struggling with redness, a dermatologist can diagnose and prescribe medications to manage the condition.
