Rosacea

Rosacea, often referred to as acne rosacea, is a skin condition that is often characterized by extreme redness, broken blood vessels, inflammation, and rhinophyma (redness and thickening of the nose). It most commonly occurs across the nose and cheeks in a characteristic butterfly pattern. More than ten million Americans are affected, with women being the majority. There is no cure for rosacea, but the symptoms can often be managed and improved. Laser treatments have shown promising results with some cases of rosacea and other people have found results by avoiding certain foods.
