Acne Rosacea
Causes and Triggers of Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting the central face, typically starting between the ages of 30 and 60. It’s characterized by persistent facial redness and often follows a relapsing-remitting course, managed through lifestyle adjustments, skincare, medications, and procedures.
Who is Affected by Rosacea?Rosacea affects approximately 5% of adults globally, with a roughly equal gender distribution. While more prevalent with age, it can manifest at any age, including childhood. Fair-skinned individuals, particularly of Celtic or North European descent, are more prone, although it may be under-recognized in people with darker skin tones.
