Rosacea affects about 1 in 20 people in the UK and people are becoming more and more educated about it thanks to new treatments, creams and management techniques.
But, sometimes it's good to go back to basics. That's why we are working with the @britskinfoundation to bring you a Rosacea Q&A. Our members asked their burning questions so that you don't have to.
Here, Dr Zainab Laftah shares her expertise on flare-ups, hereditary rosacea, showering with the condition and more.
