Rosacea is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, including those living in Malaysia. While there are no specific statistics on the prevalence of rosacea in Malaysia, it is estimated that around 10% of adults in other countries may be affected by the condition. It typically appears on the face and is characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and pimple-like bumps. Although there is no known cure for rosacea, it can be managed with appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes.

Rosacea can occur at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 30 and 50. Women are more likely to develop rosacea than men, and those with fair skin, light-colored eyes, and a family history of rosacea are at a higher risk of developing the condition. Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the face, causing redness, flushing, and sometimes small, red bumps or pustules. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

In Malaysia, the hot and humid climate may exacerbate rosacea symptoms, as increased heat and humidity can trigger flushing and redness in the skin. Additionally, certain foods and drinks, such as spicy foods, alcohol, and hot beverages, may also trigger rosacea symptoms.
