Rosacea is a chronic but manageable skin condition that affects millions worldwide. If you are looking for Rosacea treatment in Chelsea or Battersea, London, and struggle with persistent redness, visible blood vessels, or skin sensitivity, our dermatology clinic offers expert treatments tailored to your unique skin needs.
What Is ROSACEA
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels, often concentrated on the central face. In more advanced cases, it may also present with bumps, pustules, or skin thickening. Though the exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, it is commonly associated with genetic, environmental, and immune factors.
Symptoms can flare up due to triggers such as sun exposure, spicy foods, stress, or certain skincare products. Rosacea can worsen over time without treatment, making early diagnosis and intervention crucial.
Signs and Symptoms of Rosacea
- Persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin
- Visible small blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Papules and pustules resembling acne
- Burning, itching, or stinging sensations
- Thickened skin, especially around the nose (in severe cases, rhinophyma)
