What Is Rosacea?
- Rosacea is a chronic facial skin condition marked primarily by redness and sensitivity.
- It commonly affects adults aged 30 to 50 and is diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, not tests.
Seek Professional Diagnosis
- Always see a board-certified dermatologist for an accurate rosacea diagnosis.
- Proper diagnosis prevents misusing treatments intended for other skin conditions like acne.
Inflammation, Mites, and Genetics
- Rosacea is linked to inflammation and may involve a higher count of skin mites called demodex.
- Genetics play a role as rosacea tends to run in families and varies among ethnicities.
