Rosacea is a common, chronic, facial skin condition that affects approximately 1 in 20 people. Women are affected more frequently than men, but men tend to have more severe symptoms. Typical signs and symptoms include:
- Spider-like blood vessels of the face
- Generalized or central location redness of the face
- Acne-like eruptions
- A stinging sensation of the face
- In some extreme cases a red and bulbous nose
While there is currently no cure for rosacea, the condition can be successfully managed with avoidance of potential aggravating factors, topical and or internal prescription medications. Laser treatments are often beneficial to reduce redness, spider-like blood vessels, and restore the nose to a healthier appearance.
