Rosacea

About Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the face. It is prevalent amongst fair-skinned individuals, especially of celtic and northern european origin and is more common in women. The characteristic skin lesions (redness, visible blood vessels, papules and pustules) appear in the middle of the face (forehead, nose, cheeks) between the ages of 20 and 50. Flushing due to spicy food, alcohol, weather changes, sun, hot showers, etc, often have a negative impact on the patients’ social life. Stinging burning and sensitivity of the skin and an intolerance to cosmetics are also very common and in some cases the eyes can become red, dry and itchy

Advice

The pathogenesis of the disease is not yet fully known. Immunologic reaction, facial vessels, and the Demodex folliculorum mite may play an important role. Currently there is no cure for rosacea, but topical, systemic treatment and laser may suppress its signs and symptoms. Patients should avoid triggering factors, use sun protection and gentle skin-care products. Early diagnosis and management of the disease can also prevent its progression.
