Over thirteen million people in the United States suffer from rosacea, a redness of the skin. Most people believe rosacea is simply redness around the facial area, but there are other symptoms that can occur without having the redness of facial skin. By learning a few rosacea facts a person can learn how to better understand to control their rosacea.

Rosacea can affect both men and women, but it is more common in women going through menopause. While more common in women, rosacea is normally more severe in men. Rosacea facts state that most people who suffer from this disease are between the ages of 30 and 60, and that fair skinned people are more susceptible. It is also believed that people of Celtic and Scandinavian descent are more likely to develop rosacea.

Symptoms of rosacea include frequent redness of the face, small red lines that appear under the skin, swollen or itchy eyes, constant red bumps on the skin, and a thickening of the skin. The bumps that occur due to rosacea can be either pimples or just hard bumps. Over times the hard bumps can become painful. In time severe eye problems can occur. This is because the eyes can suffer from the same redness that affects the skin. Another symptom that could occur is a swollen, red nose. This bulbous nose is more commonly seen in men, but can affect women. People who have rosacea can have one or all of these symptoms.

While rosacea cannot be cured, there are many beliefs in how to treat rosacea. By learning rosacea facts and what can worsen the problem anyone can learn to control rosacea. While the absolute cause of the disease is not known, there are a number of things that contribute to the affects. Among these contributors are sun and wind exposure, emotional stress, menopause, and cold temperatures.

I wonder if this reddening of the skin is what I always thought to be a side effect of alcoholism. You see what I am talking about in the flush red faces of people with pale skin and who also drink alcohol excessively. But now I am wondering if I may be suffering from this. Once again, alcohol consumption is somewhere in the vicinity of the symptoms described in this article, which I’ve been experiencing since I increased my alcohol consumption.

This is very interesting to say the least I had no idea what they called this but I have seen it before. And you are right the people I have noticed it most on is very pale women with blonde hair and blue eyes (very fare) I have also noticed it in a lot of red heads with freckles. Do the freckles make you more susceptible?

It is weird that so much stuff is more prevalent in women than in men. I guess being a woman I am glad that they appear worse in the men even though there are more of them in women. Than you for posting this information I appreciate the help figuring out what it is exactly that I have. I will of course go see my doctor but it helps to know.

Why does this stuff always happen to women? You get pimples when you go through puberty then you get this when you go through menopause, doesn’t your body do enough cruel things to you at that point in time. Thank you for posting this I am glad that you took the time because now at least I know what to expect later on in life.

Wow. That is a staggering number of people who have this problem. What I would like to see are some photos in order to determine how severe your red marks have to be to be considered affected by this condition. I have seen some older people – usually around fifty – who have red thin type vascular marks on their cheeks. Is this indicative of this condition or is it more like acne red bumps – like an outbreak?

I’m surprised many still believe in the myth that acne is caused by dirt. Actually, the dirt on the surface of the skin or oily skin surface is not the problem. I learned from this and other sites that the cause of acne is a combination of skin scales, oil and bacteria found in the follicles and glands sebaseus. The emergence of acne caused by sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria that clog the skin pores.

I really never knew that this condition actually had a name I have had minor break outs of this before and it was very embarrassing, to me it kind of reminds me of shingles or something of that nature. Or like that skin condition eczema. Thank you for the information making us aware of the condition and that there is something that can be done about it.

This was a very informative blog and you gave us a lot of information that we would not have otherwise gotten. I had no idea that it varied from person to person in severity . You’ve put a lot of work into this blog and you have done a great job with it. I always assumed that I was having an allergic reaction to something but now I think it might have been Rosacea.
