Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition which causes a red-faced, acne-like effect on the skin, usually on the face. While the disorder doesn't cause other symptoms, people are often concerned with the cosmetic effects. Individuals who suffer from Rosacea report that the disorder has lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem.

Rosacea affects over 14 million Americans, and many of them don’t even know it. Women are diagnosed more often than men, and those with fair skin are more susceptible than others.

The cause of Rosacea is unknown and there is no cure. However, there is medical help available that can control the signs and systems of the disorder. You should see your doctor if you experience the following warning signs:

• Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead.
• Small visible blood vessels on the face.
• Bumps or pimples on the face.
• Watery or irritated eyes.
