In this episode, we dive deep into Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR) — a vascular skin condition marked by persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels (telangiectasias), flushing, and heightened sensitivity. We explore its common triggers like sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, and alcohol; how skin-barrier dysfunction plays a role; and why ETR differs from other forms of Rosacea by typically lacking pimples or pustules. Listeners will learn about hallmark symptoms — continuous facial erythema, burning or stinging sensations, dryness or flakiness, and occasional mild skin thickening — and gain an understanding of why the central face (cheeks, nose, forehead) is mainly affected.

We also unpack evidence-based management strategies: gentle, barrier-supportive skincare (fragrance-free moisturizers, sunscreen SPF30+), trigger avoidance, and medical interventions including topical treatments, oral anti-inflammatories, and vascular-targeted laser therapies. This podcast is based on scientific studies and research summarised in the original article: https://www.eraorganics.com/blogs/beauty-guide/skin-condition-erythematotelangiectatic-rosacea
