Facts
about Rosacea
Rosacea is a common face rash of adults. It is an inflammatory
disease of the skin, which is estimated to affect over 45 million
people worldwide. Rosacea begins with people in their 30s
and may last into late middle age (around age 60). Rosacea is
about 3 times more common in females and may seem to be associated
with peri-menopause in some cases. It is also more common in fair-skinned
people of Celtic or Scandinavian decent.
Rosacea
begins with flushing or blushing of the skin often triggered
by exposure to sunlight, temperature extremes, spicy foods, beverages
containing caffeine, hot beverages/soups, or alcohol. This unsightly
skin blemish usually occurs on the face and across the cheeks,
nose, or forehead. Rosacea can also appear on the neck & chest,
but not as often as it appears on the face. People who suffer
from this skin condition offer experience the following signs
of Rosacea:
