Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease of the face. It is not known what exactly causes Rosacea but common factors involve malfunctioning of the facial blood vessels, sun damage, genetics and abnormal immune reactions. Due to its similar appearance to acne, it is often misdiagnosed and simply categorised as having a poor complexion. However, if left untreated Rosacea can lead to dry, flaky and uneven skin, which may sting and or lead to tightness which can be aggravated by sensitivity to heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress and hormones.
