Listen to skin specialist Petra Kjellman on News Morning 2022-05-24 on how to relieve your Rosacea and Perioral Dermatitis.
The incidence of Rosacea is increasing and the condition is more common in women than in men. In the most common form, papulopustuless rosacea, acne-like rashes are often found on the nose and cheeks, but can also appear on the forehead and chin. Sometimes a number of ruptured blood vessels (telangiektasias) appear on the nose and cheeks. Another variant, erythematous rosacea, gives a more widespread, almost constant redness of the face. The cause is a genetic propensity but different factors play a role in triggering or worsening rosacea. The most common factors are sun, stress, alcohol and heat, amongst others that cause the vessels on the face to widen and the skin to turn red.
In the condition perioral dermatitis, related to rosacea, there are small rashes around the chin and mouth, which often itch or sting. These are also sometimes on the nostrils or around the eyes. This condition is strongly linked to stress but even excessive facial care can also lead to imbalance and perioral dermatitis.
