Looking for a plastic surgeon, dermatologist or medspa in the Southern California area?

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.
