They say, “A beautiful skin needs no cover-up.” After all, skin is your body’s natural clothing. But what if your skin just doesn’t feel right? Those red patches that you once dreaded have actually started appearing on your chest, ears, neck, or scalp that feel dry and are irritating you all the way.
If these episodes sound similar, your skin probably is routing towards a chronic condition called Rosacea. Rosacea is a fairly common skin condition, with around 415 million people suffering from it worldwide. However, it is a relief now that we can keep a check on Rosacea by minimizing the symptoms and gauging which type of Rosacea is putting your skin in distress.
To talk about the types, there are four types of Rosacea:
- Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: This is the subtype one. Here, the blood vessels underneath the skin get enlarged and become visible. It can then cover more skin, becoming severe and permanent without treatment. This condition is also known as Vascular Rosacea.
- Papulopustular Rosacea: Often misidentified as acne, this is the subtype two of Rosacea. The cheeks, chin, and forehead may develop pink papules (bump) and pustules during this condition. This symptom is sometimes diagnosed as Inflammatory Rosacea as well.
- Phymatous Rosacea: A person suffering from subtype three Rosacea, complains about the thickening of the skin on the nose, making it bumpy, swollen, or sometimes even discolored. Also known as Rhinophyma, this rare condition majorly occurs in men than in women.
- Ocular Rosacea: Categorized as subtype four, Ocular Rosacea troubles the eye area. The eyes might look water-filled or bloodshot with a burning sensation in them.
Treatment
Suffering from the disease itself is a painful course, and it becomes even more excruciating if you get into a compromised line of treatment. Thus, rather than taking the erroneous way, take the expert way.
