What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is defined as a common chronic skin condition which affects an estimated 15 million Americans. People who are most affected by rosacea tend to be in the age group of 30's to 45 and generally are of light complexion.

Symptoms

Rosacea refers to a range of symptoms which generally start with some blushing or slight redness on the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead. As the condition progresses, symptoms typically worsen with persistent redness on the nose and cheeks. Small blood vessels begin to grow, particularly on the nose, and worsen as time goes by. Diffused generalized redness may become constant, which may also become worse whenever we exercise, drink coffee or alcohol or in a state of anger. Pimples can develop as well, furthering the misperception that many think that rosacea is acne.
