🤨Think you have Rosacea? Many people do not understand Rosacea. Rosacea is a condition with chronic redness of the facial skin, easy flushing, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It can happen to men or women and is a long-term problem that cannot be cured. However, like many other chronic medical disorders, rosacea can be controlled with treatment. Individuals of all ethnicities can have rosacea, but persons with lighter skin are more likely to be affected. Rosacea has several forms that affect the skin differently.
😒The cause of rosacea is unknown. Some persons with rosacea symptoms that are triggered by environmental exposure can have excessive production of chemicals in the skin that cause inflammation in response to the exposure. This tendency of the skin to overreact to its environment may be inherited, so rosacea may run in families. Rosacea was linked to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which is responsible for peptic ulcer disease. However, this bacterium has not been identified in all persons who have rosacea, and rosacea does not always develop in persons who have this bacterial infection.
