Rosacea

Rosacea primarily affects individuals with fair skin between the ages of 30 and 65.

It is characterized by chronic inflammation and abnormal blood vessel response to dilating stimuli. It is important to note that rosacea is not a form of acne or infection, contrary to some misconceptions.

While rosacea cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed. Individuals with rosacea may also experience blemishes that resemble acne, leading them to use harsh acne products. However, the skin of those with rosacea is highly reactive to inflammation triggers, including many acne products. Therefore, it is crucial to exercise caution and consult a medical provider to determine the most suitable treatment options for your specific needs. Additionally, wearing sunscreen daily is essential in managing rosacea.
