Let's talk about a common skin condition that affects many of us, which is called rosacea.
April is the month dedicated to raising awareness about Acne Rosacea. This is a perfect opportunity to learn more about a subject that is more common than many of us might realize.
Did you know that 1 in 10 Americans are affected by this condition?
So, what's the deal with rosacea?
Picture this: your face turning all shades of red, maybe feeling like you're burning up, and then, those veins show up... and maybe even some acne-like bumps make an entrance. Yep, that's acne rosacea for you.
It's this tricky skin condition that mostly loves to hang out on your face, affecting both men and women, but it has a peculiar fondness for middle-aged women with fair skin.
What's going on with my skin?
The exact cause of rosacea is still debatable—it's a mix of genetics and some environmental factors. For those with rosacea, their skin can't seem to take a joke, flaring up over everything from a sunny day to that spicy taco night.
Busting some rosacea myths.
Rosacea is not the same as acne, even though they can look similar and both are inflammatory skin disorders. It's important to know that rosacea has its own triggers, symptoms, and treatments. Poor hygiene does not cause rosacea. Let's clear up any confusion and learn more about this skin condition.
