Rosacea/acne rosacea/rosy acne

Rosacea – also known as acne rosacea or 'rosy acne' – is a skin condition with many manifestations. These include redness, itching, and acne-like inflammatory skin changes. Blushing of the facial skin in situations when you least need it also belongs to this disease.

Acne rosacea is a long-lasting, non-contagious disease of the facial skin that affects around five to ten percent of adults. It mainly affects fair-skinned people from around the age of 35. It also occurs more frequently in women than in men.

Rosacea typically begins with fleeting, episodic redness of the face. At first the redness subsides after a while, but as the disease progresses it can become permanent. In more than half of patients, inflamed bumps and pimples appear later in the course of the disease. By then you should consult a dermatologist.

More than half of acne rosacea patients report eye stinging and burning as well as a foreign-body sensation and sensitivity to sunlight.
