Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a chronic, non-contagious, inflammatory skin condition. It is characterized by a flushing redness of the cheeks, chin, nose and forehead, and may produce small, red, pus-filled bumps or pustules. Rosacea appears to affect more fair-skinned people than dark, though it can affect any skin type. As the condition progresses, flushing becomes more persistent and noticeable. In severe cases, most of the face is affected. The disorder affects more women than men, but is generally more severe for men. Sometimes, permanent facial changes can occur for men, such as thickening of the skin on the nose.
Causes:

The cause of rosacea is currently unknown. However there are triggers which might develop rosacea, like prolonged sunlight exposure, exposure to extreme heat, exercises, depression, and anxiety. Some researchers have shown that genetic predisposition combined with environmental factors may be the cause.
