Definición y Significado de "rosacea"

What is "rosacea"?

Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that mostly affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red, pus-filled bumps. It often begins with a tendency to blush or flush more easily than others. Over time, the redness can become more persistent, and other symptoms may develop, including swollen and sensitive skin. The exact cause of rosacea is not known, but it may be linked to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Treatment typically involves skin creams and medications to reduce inflammation and redness, as well as lifestyle changes to avoid triggers that can worsen the condition, such as certain foods, beverages, and environmental factors. Regular skincare routines and sun protection are also important in managing rosacea.
