REDDENED AND SENSITIVE SKIN (TEST ARTICLE DEV 1)

There are several reasons as to why skin may become reddened and reactive. The most asked question’s we experience here at The Clinic is, why is my skin red? And do I have rosacea?

An overview of these questions will be answered in the following video by The Clinics Registered Nurse Paige: 

Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin condition that’s symptoms typically include erythema (redness), presence of papules, flushing of the skin and visible spider veins known as telangiectasias. The most important first step you should take when you suspect you have rosacea is to visit your dermatologist or general practitioner. This form of skin condition requires a professional diagnosis to appropriately treat.

The most common types of rosacea we treat at The Clinic include:

Vascular rosacea

This form of rosacea is typically identified through diffused redness and blood vessels in the skin becoming visible.

Inflammatory rosacea

This form of rosacea is commonly mistaken for acne. This is because it is characterized by not only diffused redness across the cheeks and visible blood vessels but also through the inclusion of pustules and papules under the skin.
