Perioral rosacea is an inflammatory skin disorder that mostly affects young women. Nevertheless, men and kids can also be affected. Tiny pink or red pimples and moderate peeling characterize perioral rosacea. In certain cases, it produces crimson flushing, little raised, red bumps (papules), and pus-filled patches (pustules).
The exact cause of perioral rosacea is unknown. However, it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some triggers that may worsen the condition include exposure to sunlight, heat, humidity, wind, spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skincare products. Stress and hormones may also play a role in the development of perioral rosacea.
