What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that most commonly affects the central area of the face, including the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. It often begins with frequent flushing or redness that may come and go but can gradually become more persistent over time. Common signs and symptoms include facial redness, visible blood vessels (telangiectasia), skin sensitivity, and occasional stinging or burning sensations. In some individuals, acne-like bumps or pustules may develop.
In more advanced cases, thickening of the skin—particularly around the nose (rhinophyma)—may occur, though this is less common. Rosacea can present differently in each individual, and its severity may fluctuate. While the condition is not contagious, it can significantly affect a person’s skin comfort and self-confidence. Understanding what contributes to rosacea and identifying potential triggers is an important first step in managing it effectively.
What causes Rosacea?
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic predisposition, immune responses, and environmental triggers. Common aggravating factors include spicy foods, alcohol, sun exposure, heat, and emotional stress. Skincare products and hormonal changes may also contribute to symptom flare-ups in sensitive individuals.
Although there is no known cure, rosacea can often be managed with a comprehensive approach under medical supervision. Treatment options may include prescription medication, laser-based therapies, and topical solutions to support symptom control. Lifestyle changes—such as avoiding personal triggers, using microbiome-friendly or gentle skincare, applying daily sun protection, and reducing stress—can also play a role. Consulting with a doctor is essential to develop a personalised plan tailored to your skin needs.

How is Rosacea related to
Microbiome health?
The skin microbiome refers to the community of microorganisms that naturally reside on the skin’s surface. A balanced microbiome is thought to support overall skin health, including barrier function and inflammatory regulation. In individuals with rosacea, research suggests that changes in microbiome composition may be associated with skin sensitivity, redness, or inflammation.
Disruptions in the skin microbiome—such as an overgrowth of certain bacteria—are believed to influence how the skin reacts to environmental or internal triggers. While the exact relationship between microbiome health and rosacea is still being studied, maintaining a healthy skin environment through microbiome-friendly skincare and medical guidance may help reduce flare-ups and support symptom management.
Several factors related to microbiome imbalance may influence rosacea symptoms. Below are some examples that may contribute to increased skin sensitivity or flare-ups.
1.Dysbiosis and Inflammation :
Research indicates that many individuals with rosacea may have a disrupted skin microbiome—a condition known as dysbiosis, which refers to an imbalance between good and harmful microorganisms on the skin. In such cases, there may be an increase in certain bacteria like Staphylococcus epidermidis and a reduction in beneficial microbes. This imbalance is believed to interfere with the skin’s natural defense system, leading to visible inflammation, redness, and sensitivity. Though still being studied, this connection suggests that restoring microbial balance may be a helpful part of rosacea management.
2.Involvement of Demodex Mites :
Demodex mites are tiny organisms that naturally live on human skin. While normally harmless, people with rosacea often show higher concentrations of these mites, particularly on the cheeks and nose. This overpopulation may trigger an immune reaction, resulting in inflammation and worsening symptoms. Some researchers believe that the mites themselves may not be harmful, but rather their waste or associated bacteria may provoke irritation. Understanding the role of Demodex in rosacea remains an area of ongoing study.
