In this episode we explore Phymatous Rosacea — a lesser-known but serious subtype of Rosacea, marked by progressive skin thickening, enlarged pores and even enlargement of the nose (a condition called Rhinophyma). We break down how phymatous rosacea differs from other forms (such as papulopustular or erythematotelangiectatic rosacea), the signs and symptoms to watch for — including redness, bumpy or “orange-peel” skin texture, rough enlarged pores and visible blood vessels — and discuss the factors that may contribute: overactive sebaceous glands, chronic inflammation, immune-system and vascular irregularities, and environmental triggers like sun, heat, spicy foods, alcohol or stress. We also cover available approaches for management and treatment: from gentle skincare and lifestyle adjustments (avoiding known triggers, using non-irritating products, sun protection) to medical interventions — topical treatments, antibiotics, and in more advanced cases laser therapy or other dermatological procedures. This episode is based on scientific studies and research — for full details you can read the original article here: https://www.eraorganics.com/blogs/beauty-guide/skin-condition-phymatous-rosacea
