Acne Rosacea Acne rosacea is a fairly common skin disease. Red spots that look like pimples would appear on the faces of those who have the disease. However these spots are not pimples but expanded blood vessels that show through the skin, creating red color dots on various parts of the face. rosacea mainly appears on the chin, the forehead and on the lower part of the nose. The term rosacea might actually not be the most proper term for the particular skin disease since the term is merely rosacea and the reference to is actually because of the resemblance between and rosacea.
Acne as we all know is most common with teenagers. rosacea on the contrary is most common among people with fair skin who are between the ages of 30 and 50. The good news about rosacea is that unlike in there are no whiteheads or blackheads. rosacea is mostly common with women but the bad news for the guys is that the disease is worse in the case of men.
If the disease persist it is best to get medical attention. rosacea could appear and automatically disappear but there is good chance of it reappearing. Especially when rosacea appears in the eye, neglecting the disease could lead
to your vision being impaired. A person with untreated rosacea may find his/her nose and cheeks reddening and puffing up. In the lower half of the nose and on the cheeks thick bumps might also appear, having a bad effect on the appearance. The other bad news is that rosacea cannot be totally cured in most cases. However it can be treated and the effects of the disease could be minimized.
A person with rosacea should keep in mind that any activity that would expand his/her blood vessels could worsen the disease. This unfortunately will mean that certain sacrifices may have to be made such as not drinking alcohol, refraining from smoking and not eating any hot/spicy food. Certain cosmetics, soap and even hair sprays could worsen rosacea so those with the disease should be careful in using such products. Using sunscreen when going outdoors could also help those suffering from the disease.
Laser surgery could be used in some cases when treating this disease.
Some who suffer from mild cases of rosacea never realize that they even have the disease. The fact that there is no specific test for rosacea has been the main cause for the disease going undetected.
