Introduction to Rosacea

Rosacea is also called facial redness, adult acne or Acne Rosacea. It is not actually Acne but continuous inflammation of skin causing skin redness ‘red face’ due to dilated visible vessels. Mainly affecting the face (cheeks, nose, middle forehead, chin).

Although the exact Rosacea causes have not been identified various factors increasing the condition have been described. It has a strong genetic basis but is easily treated. 

Earlier it was believed to be affecting only the lighter skin but recent evidence suggests, it affects the skin of all colors and is prevalent in both men and women.

Not worrying too much about it is a mistake. The innocent looking blush gradually forms cystic acne like small lesions occasionally filled with pus. Gradually the skin thickens as in Rhinophyma nose.
