Rosacea is a serious skin condition of the face, consisting of bright red skin with bumps and pimples. Rosacea stands for "as red as a rose" and can be seen by the bright red cheeks and/or nose. It is accompanied by pimples and bumps. Rosacea occurs later in life, more often in women than in men.

It is a very stubborn condition, but if you look into it properly, it is easy to treat.

Rosacea comes in 3 stages:

• In the first stage, one may start to blush very much, sometimes for hours. Small blood vessels appear and do not go away. Water and cold can cause a painful reaction.
• In addition to redness, bumps and pimples start to appear. Also, the pores on the face become more visible.
• The pimples and bumps become larger and thicker. The skin is very rough and can become painful. In some, it is accompanied by facial deformity.

There is no cause why some people get rosacea and others do not. However, there are factors that greatly influence this condition. Some of these factors are:

• Nutrition
• Medicines
• Climate
• Hypersensitivity
• Infections
• Stress

Rosacea is very much influenced by diet. For example, alcohol and spicy spices aggravate the dilation of blood vessels in the face. Other foods that have a bad influence on rosacea are chocolate, sugars, too many carbohydrates and saturated fats. In some people, coffee also has a bad influence. Drinking plenty of water helps to improve the appearance of your skin.
