Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin disease, that can affect both men and women. It often begins around age 30, with a tendency to blush or flush more easily than other people. The main characteristics of rosacea can be described as persistent erythema (redness), facial flushing, pink skin, telangiectasia (visible broken capillaries), and inflammatory papules (bumps) and pustules (blemishes). Left untreated, rosacea can continue to evolve with more pronounced spider veins/Telangiectasia and possible acne lesions. There is no medical cure for Rosacea, however laser treatments can help reduce or control the unwanted symptoms, combined with lifestyle and diet to further keep it under control.
