If you have ocular rosacea, you will know all too well how infuriating and upsetting a condition it can be to live with. I’ve written a few versions of this blog post over the years, but I wanted to keep it as up to date as possible so I asked Mr Alex Day, Consultant Ophthalmologist, to help me. Whether you’re newly diagnosed with ocular rosacea or are a long-time sufferer, hopefully this post will offer some help.

I’ve wanted to do a dedicated blog post on Rhinophyma for a while, but needed to make sure I was sharing information that actually added something to the conversation first. I don’t have personal experience of this form of rosacea, so I asked the wonderful Naveen Cavale to help me. Naveen is a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgeon (you can read more about him and his work HERE) and very kindly fielded all of the questions I received in a recent call-out on my Instagram Stories.
Although I have had rosacea for 20 years, I am still learning new things about it all the time. I try to follow knowledgable people so that I can continue to not only expand my understanding of rosacea, but so I can bring it to you as well. So when the lovely Dr Alia Ahmed sent me an email letting me know about a recent article she wrote for Consulting Room magazine, I was thrilled. I’d heard people mention Neurogenic Rosacea before but was pretty clueless as to what it meant…
I try to follow the latest news and updates when it comes to rosacea and I’ve been wanting to write a post addressing the changes to the rosacea classifications for a while… but every time I sit down to write I get bogged down in the scientific jargon and lose interest! But I’ve finally done it – I’ve waded through numerous scientific papers and press releases and broken things down in layman’s terms.
