Expert Rosacea Diagnosis & Treatment for Sensitive Skin

At Dr. Abdiaziz Dermatology Clinic, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and acne-like bumps.
Rosacea can be frustrating and emotionally draining, but with the right medical approach, it can be controlled and significantly improved.

Our clinic in Nairobi provides personalized treatment plans designed to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and restore clear, balanced skin.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that commonly affects the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It often appears as:

  • Persistent redness
  • Frequent flushing
  • Visible facial blood vessels
  • Acne-like bumps and pimples
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Eye irritation (ocular rosacea)

Rosacea is not caused by poor hygiene — it is a medical condition that requires expert dermatological care.

Types of Rosacea

There are four main types:

  1. Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR)
  • Facial redness and flushing
  • Visible blood vessels
  1. Papulopustular Rosacea
  • Redness with acne-like bumps
  • Pus-filled pimples
  1. Phymatous Rosacea
  • Thickened skin, often on the nose (rhinophyma)
  1. Ocular Rosacea
  • Watery, irritated, red eyes

Eyelid inflammation

Common Rosacea Triggers

Rosacea symptoms may flare due to:

  • Sun exposure
  • Hot drinks
  • Spicy foods
  • Alcohol
  • Heat or humidity
  • Stress
  • Exercise
  • Harsh skincare products

Understanding your triggers helps in controlling the condition.
