Treat Rosacea at Monte Clinic

Rosacea is a skin disease characterized by redness, particularly in the central regions of the face. The nose, cheeks, forehead and chin are the key hotspots where rosacea becomes prominent due to increased blood flow. Most people who acquire rosacea lie in the age group of 30-50 years. Women are at a slightly greater risk, but severe cases often occur in men. It is also an observation that people with a fair complexion are more prone to rosacea.

TYPES OF ROSACEA

Erythrotelangietatic or Vascular

Besides redness, there occurs swelling and on and off acne-like breakouts. Skin becomes oily, with raised patches called plaques.

Papulopustular

Marked by visible blood vessels, burning sensation, dryness, roughness or scaling.

Phymatous

This subtype is rare. In this the skin thickens (commonly around the nose) and has a bumpy texture. The condition is known as rhinophyma. Skin becomes oily and pores appear large.

Ocular

As named, it affects the eye region. Redness, swelling and irritation around the eyelids is common and person may have what looks like a sty. Eyes burn and itch, become sensitive to light, leading to blurry vision.

What is causing Rosacea?

Recent research into rosacea has highlighted key elements in its disease process, potentially advancing treatment options. Facial redness appears to stem from neurovascular dysregulation and the innate immune system. Groundbreaking studies funded by the NRS revealed irregularities in cathelicidins and a significant increase in mast cells at the nervous-vascular interface.

Additionally, the mite *Demodex folliculorum*, found in higher numbers on rosacea patients' skin, and two genetic variants have been implicated in the disorder. Moreover, rosacea has been linked to an increased risk of various systemic diseases, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers, suggesting it may result from systemic inflammation.
