What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a progressive vascular disorder that affects the facial skin and eyes.
It usually starts out quite innocently as a mild flush across the nose, cheeks,
chin, and forehead. During the early stages, this flush comes and goes, seeming
to have a mind of its own. As the disorder progresses, facial redness becomes
more intense, taking on the appearance of mild sunburn or windburn. In areas
of facial redness, tiny broken blood vessels and red bumps may also become
visible. In the moderate to severe stages, facial inflammation usually intensifies,
resulting in permanent redness, swelling, and burning sensations. In the
most advanced cases, rosacea can cause facial disfigurement and disabling
burning sensations. Rosacea affects millions of people worldwide. In
the United States an estimated 20 million Americans are afflicted by this
disease (1 in 20 people).
