Rosacea

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin that causes redness and pimples mainly on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. In some cases it may also appear on the scalp, ears, neck, chest or back. The condition is more often seen in women than in men, especially during menopause. There is currently no cure for the condition, but many rosacea treatment options are available.

What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Rosacea can be an embarrassing condition due to its very visual symptoms. Rosacea often causes the face to appear flushed with pimples or bumps around the cheeks, nose, and forehead that can last for days. Small red spider-web like veins can also appear on the face as a symptom of rosacea. Sensitive facial skin can be affected by burning or stinging that is often made worse with the application of certain lotions or medicines. Skin can also feel dry, tight, and uncomfortable. Using Skin MD Natural as a rosacea treatment can relieve the uncomfortable tightness of dry skin.

How is rosacea diagnosed?

A doctor or dermatologist is necessary for a proper roscea diagnosis. The condition is easily confused with other skin disorders and can be mistaken as "adult acne". A diagnosis is made based on a visual inspection of the skin, as there is no test that can diagnose rosacea. Proper diagnosis and rosacea treatment can significantly reduce the progression of symptoms.
