Some people with rosacea may experience itchiness, but itching can aggravate your skin and worsen the appearance of rosacea.
This itching may be down to folliculitis, where the hair follicles become inflamed, sometimes caused by ingrown hairs.
An infection from the bacteria Staphylococcus can develop in inflamed hair follicles on the face of someone with rosacea, but this can be treated with a course of antibiotics or topical creams.
If you’re a man suffering from rosacea, shaving can irritate your skin, so you may want to give up shaving altogether - but if this isn’t for you, try to use a new razor each time to prevent folliculitis from occurring.
