Rosacea Information
Rosacea is a chronic condition pf the skin that has touched millions of people's lives. Rosacea is often characterized with relapses and remissions. I first heard about it years ago on a television commercial for awareness and thought to myself, hmmm, I wonder if I have Rosacea. I do. It generally starts around the age of thirty, though, though people can get it at any time, even children can have Rosacea. It is more commonly diagnosed in women, but men tend to get a case that is more severe then women. With women, it presents most commonly around the chin and cheeks. You'll see a picture of me below, showing that pattern. Men usually present with it on the nose.It is common for fair complected people to end up with Rosacea.
