In most cases theseparts consider those which are usually known to be prone to blushingsuch as one's nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. Causes of this skindisorders are not completely known yet, but there is a strong chancethat it may be caused by the bacteria on our face and our skin.However other factors such as smoking, being overweight, havingcertain cardiovascular problems, stress and anxiety as well asconsumption of spicy food may be a possible cause of rosacea. It ismore visible, and thereby more present with people who have a lightercomplexion.
One of the main symptoms is theflushing itself. In the beginning of rosacea, the redness comes andgoes. However, in later stadiums, or after a certain period ofappearing and disappearing, it usually stays as a permanent featureof one's face.

However, there are less extreme paths one maytake in order to slow down or stop the processing of this illness.First of all, one should consult a doctor who will, afterrunning various tests and identifying the type of bacteria which maybe causing the redness, prescribe an adequate treatment. Sometimes,changing one's lifestyle may be enough. Quiting smoking, alcoholconsumption, or the intake of any other substances causing theredness may do. Women may stop using makeup which contains chemicalsthat irritate the skin. Alcohol based deodorants or any cosmeticsshould be avoided since alcohol thickens the blood vessels.Furthermore, staying out of direct exposure to the sun as much as youcan will surely help stopping rosacea.
