Rosacea is another common inflammatory skin condition that causes skin flushing, persistent redness, skin bumps or prominent visible small blood vessels on the skin. Avoidance of triggers such excessive sun exposure, heat or alcohol is important in the management of rosacea, as in avoiding harsh ingredients in skincare such as acids (AHA, BHA) and retinols, as well as keeping the skin sun protected and hydrated, ideally with moisturisers containing specific ingredients that help soothe sensitive skin and restore the skin’s protective barrier. For more severe or persistently relapsing cases, vascular lasers such as yellow (589nm) lasers can help shrink the small blood vessels near the skin surface, reduce inflammation, redness and flushing, relieve rosacea flares and reduce the frequency and severity of flares.
