As with most skin conditions, rosacea treatments are the most
effective if they are done as early as possible. Early diagnosis and
early rosacea skin care treatment can be the best way to control the
many rosacea symptoms and prevent them from getting worse.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea,
also called acne rosacea is a chronic disease that affects the skin and
sometimes even the eyes. It causes redness and swelling and sometimes
pimples. This disease mainly affects the face but can also affect other
areas of the body including the scalp, chest, back, neck and ears. In
some people, Rosacea also affects the eyes. It is more common in people
who have lighter skin, blue eyes and blonde hair and in those who are
between 30-50 years of age. Despite extensive research, the causes of
rosacea are still unknown but it is thought to be hereditary.
