Understanding Rosacea: Causes, Types, and Treatments

Understanding Rosacea: Causes, Types, and Treatments

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps that resemble acne. At Neo-Derm Clinics, we specialise in treating rosacea with advanced solutions tailored to reduce symptoms and improve skin health. Discover the different types of rosacea and explore our effective treatments.

Condition Breakdown

Rosacea is a common but often misunderstood skin condition, presenting in various forms that require personalised care. Explore the key types of rosacea and how we address them below.

This type of rosacea is characterized by persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sensitive skin that may sting or burn.

Papulopustular rosacea presents as red bumps, pustules, and swelling, often mistaken for acne.

This severe type of rosacea causes thickened, bumpy skin, commonly on the nose, and may lead to permanent changes if untreated.

Ocular rosacea affects the eyes, causing redness, dryness, and irritation. While primarily treated by eye specialists, improving skin health can help reduce overall symptoms.

Fine lines and wrinkles

No matter how rosacea manifests, Neo-Derm Clinics is here to provide expert care, advanced treatments, and ongoing support to help you manage symptoms and restore your skin’s natural glow.
