Roughly one in 10 American adults suffers from rosacea. New Jersey’s Skin & Laser Center of NJ explains that the inflammatory skin condition is typically characterized by facial redness, pimples, flushing, visible blood vessels, nose enlargement, and eye irritation. While the exact cause of rosacea is still unknown, scientists speculate it could be caused by abnormalities in blood vessels on the face, a reaction to microscopic mites found on the face, or heightened sensitivity to environmental stressors. Both genetic and environmental factors likely play a role in the development of rosacea. Women are disproportionately likely to be impacted by the condition, with women between 30 and 50 being the most likely to develop it. When men are diagnosed with rosacea, symptoms tend to be more severe.
While there is currently no cure for rosacea, the dermatologists at Skin & Laser Center of NJ have several treatment options that can help manage the symptoms. Ideal strategies involve a combination of topical or oral medications, laser treatment, and knowledge of your condition to help avoid triggers that may cause a rosacea flare up. With experienced care and the right treatment, rosacea patients can enjoy longer periods of relief between symptoms.
