It is very hard to offer a correct idea about what causes rosacea or why it cannot be cured, but the rosacea facts that everyone agrees on are the following ones:
- Rosacea is a fairly common skin condition.
- It affects nearly fourteen million people only in the United States of America. In the world, that number is more then ten times bigger.
- It is not a serious condition and it rarely leads to complications that should worry anyone.
- The most common symptom of rosacea is the patchy blushing. Basically, if a person blushes, but his or her skin does not turn red completely, then they are suffering from a mild form of this annoying condition.
- Most of the inflammation or the redness appears on the nose, the cheeks, the forehead and the chin.
- The first bouts of rosacea appear, typically, between the ages of thirty and fifty.
- Rosacea can be considered a sexist condition: it affects more women then men. Also, it has a preference for slightly overweight and overstressed women. Usually, rosacea is easily confused with sunburn. However, sunburn only appears in the summer, so if your symptoms show up in the middle of winter, rosacea might be real reason.
- Rosacea is not exactly curable, but it is treatable. People who get help for this disease suffer far less from its physical manifestations then those that refuse to take it seriously.
