Assessment of facial redness

WHY ASSESSMENT MATTERS

Not all redness is rosacea

Facial redness can arise from reactive, inflammatory, autoimmune, infective, vascular and other causes. Pattern, distribution, triggers, symptoms and age of onset help guide diagnosis before treatment.

Medical note

Online information cannot diagnose a skin condition. A consultation is needed before treatment is recommended.

WHEN TO ARRANGE AN ASSESSMENT

Signs and concerns to discuss

  • Persistent flushing or background redness
  • Visible facial vessels
  • Burning, stinging or sensitivity
  • Red bumps or inflammatory episodes
  • A red patch that changes or does not settle

Unsure whether it needs attention?

If a lesion or symptom is new, changing, persistent or concerning, arrange an assessment rather than trying to identify it from photographs online.
