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:
•
Red, sometimes swollen, skin around the middle of the face - the forehead,
cheeks, and nose.
• Red bumps similar to acne, pimples or pustules.
• Tiny blood vessels, similar to spider veins, over the nose and
cheeks that are visible up close.
• Swelling and growth of the nose, called rhinophyma, and central
facial areas. Swelling of the ear may occur as well.

cannot be cured, its symptoms can be controlled and your appearance can
be treated. Now many doctors, dermatologists, and medspa clinics in the
