What are couperose and rosacea?
People with ultra-sensitive skin have probably had to deal with skin issues, such as redness, capillary fragility, couperose, and rosacea. This type of skin is more vulnerable to external agents, bacteria, and chemical elements that may all cause couperose. Couperose can be defined as a skin condition related to capillary fragility and levels of skin's porosity that affects people with sensitive, fragile, and light-coloured skin. It usually appears on cheeks and nose as red and purplish stains and visible broken capillaries. It is essential to take care of couperose as soon as it appears because it is the first manifestation of rosacea, which is a form of chronic benign dermatitis caused by the dilation and subsequent rupture of blood capillaries that comes with a feeling of burning. Couperose and rosacea are often confused one with the other, but they actually are different, being couperose a previous stage of rosacea.
To take care of couperose properly is essential to avoid that it gets worse, until turning into rosacea, a pathology that is a more severe issue.
What are the causes of couperose and rosacea?
Now that we have understood what couperose is, let's deal with the causes. As to couperose, it may be caused by the following factors:
- Genetics: it is often among the main causes of all skin issues. In the case of couperose, genetics is related to having a light-coloured skin characterised by very light phototypes.
- Issues with blood circulation;
- Stress and anxiety;
- Sudden changes of temperature;
- Hormonal imbalances as being under birth-control pill or entering menopause.
In people with an extremely sensitive and fragile skin, one or all of these factors may lead to rosacea, which is often caused by the same issues. Among other causes, we also have to include factors that may make the situation worse and contribute to the appearance of couperose, as taking drugs containing cortisone, following a diet lacking of Vitamin C, or an abusing spicy foods and alcohol.
As for couperose symptoms, the affected areas comes with a sudden sensation of burning caused by the ropture of capillaries.
How to determine if it is rosacea?
So, couperose is a potential manifestation of rosacea. However, it is not always true that if one suffers from couperose they will necessarily develop rosacea; on the contrary, it is true that if one suffers from rosacea, they surely had to deal with couperose. Rosacea develops different clinical stages:
- Temporary capillary dilation ;
- Visible capillary dilation and appearance of couperose;
- Couperose turning into acne rosacea causing symptoms such as sudden redness, hot flashes, burning and swelling, and presence of papules and pustoles.
It is essential to recognise these symptoms so as to take care of couperose before it turns into rosacea. Let's now focus on how to take care of extremely sensitive and fragile skins that may suffer from redness and stains.
