Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps on the face. It often flares up due to environmental factors, stress, or certain foods. The condition is most common in fair-skinned individuals and typically affects the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. While not curable, its symptoms can be managed with proper care.

Environmental Triggers: Sun exposure, wind, and temperature changes can aggravate rosacea symptoms.
Dietary Factors: Spicy foods, alcohol, and hot beverages are common triggers for flare-ups.
Stress: Emotional stress can lead to increased redness and visible blood vessels.
Genetics: Individuals with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop the condition.
Skin Type: Fair-skinned individuals are particularly susceptible to developing rosacea.
