Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness and swelling on the face. The beginning stages of Rosacea are blushing easily, redness in the center of the face and can gradually include cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. Small blood vessels can be seen when the disease progresses. Also, tiny pimples begin to appear which is commonly known as “adult acne” but there are no blackheads.Fair-skinned adults, especially women between the ages of 30 and 50 are at risk of developing Rosacea. Women especially get Rosacea more often than men because numerous cases have been associated with menopause. However, Rosacea can affect men or women of all ages and even children.
To prevent a Rosacea outbreak, it is best to avoid hot drinks, alcoholic beverages, caffeine and spicy foods. Avoid extreme hot and cold temperatures if possible and use good sun protection by using sunscreens with SPF of 15 or higher. Do not rub or scrub your face and use soaps, moisturizers and other facial products that are free of alcohol.
If left untreated, Rosacea will get worse and may become more difficult to treat. There are many treatment options for Rosacea so be sure to check with a Dermatologist to find which treatment plan is best for you and that will aid in acne removal.
