Niagara This Week Article on Rosacea

[Guide]

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition whose symptoms are a persistent redness of the skin of the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead, excessive blushing, and small, dilated blood vessels. There can also be swelling and pimple-like bumps on the skin. More extreme cases can involve the eyes and swelling and disfigurement of the nose. It can begin at any age, and seems to have a hereditary component, as fair-skinned people of northwestern European descent are most affected. Women are three times as likely to develop Rosacea, and the incidence increases at menopause. Its cause is unknown.
