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 30’s
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:
