What is it?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition with redness in the central face, easy flushing, fine visible vessels and sometimes acne-like bumps. Eye symptoms such as dryness and stinging may also occur.
Hot drinks, spicy food, sun, sudden temperature changes and some skincare products can worsen symptoms. The visit covers identifying your triggers, suitable skincare and topical or oral treatments.
The course and triggers of rosacea vary from person to person. The treatment plan is built together based on examination findings and adjusted over time.
Who is it assessed for?
- People who often flush and feel heat in the face

Questions
Is rosacea the same as acne?
No. Although bumps may look similar, it is a different condition with a different approach.
Can I wear make-up?
Non-irritating products can be chosen. Product choice can be discussed during the visit.
Could dry eyes be related to rosacea?
They could. If you have eye symptoms, assessment with ophthalmology may be suggested.
