Many people can also find their symptoms are similar to other skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne and dermatitis, therefore misdiagnosis is common. Spotting that you have rosacea as soon as possible is key in ensuring you manage your symptoms in the correct way. If left untreated or treated incorrectly, symptoms may persist and become permanent.
What Causes Rosacea?
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, although we do know that genetics, the immune system and lifestyle factors play a role in causing flare ups. Rosacea does cause physical problems such as extremely sore and sensitive skin which can be painful and uncomfortable. But it can also have an effect on people’s emotional and mental state.
People with severe rosacea often report having low self-esteem, little confidence and can struggle to be in social situations when their skin has flared up. Although there is no cure, in the right hands, with an effective treatment plan and some lifestyle adjustments, symptoms can be managed and relieved.
