Do You Have Rosacea? 

W.C. Fields had a severe case of it that fit his drunken persona. Bill Clinton has a case of it that used to be apparent to television viewers after he would travel the world and get little sleep. Millions of people in the U.S. have it and just simply chalk it up to a rash or an allergy or something they ate. But the truth is that rosacea is a dermatological condition that affects an estimated 14,000,000 people in the United States, and is one of the most commonly diagnosed skin ailments.

Rosacea, for some reason, was once not as prevalent as it seems to be today. Perhaps it just wasn’t correctly diagnosed until the past few decades. Whatever the case, rosacea affects the skin on the face by creating everything from a flush or a blush to swollen blood vessels, an engorged nose (as in W.C. Fields’ case), and pus-filled bumps. Many rosacea sufferers don’t know that they have a treatable condition, believing their redness or other rosacea symptoms to simply be caused by the sun.

How to Know if You have Rosacea

If you think the redness or other problems with your face may be from more than just exposure to the sun or an after-exercise blush, you may have rosacea. Take a look at the following list of common rosacea symptoms, and see how many of the questions you can answer “yes” to.

• I develop a prolonged redness after I exercise or when I blush.
• I have bumps on my face that kind of look like pimples, but they aren’t.
• My face has small lines on it that look like tiny blood vessels.
• I sometimes feel a burning and/or stinging sensation on my face.
• My skin feels thicker and more leathery somehow, especially on my nose.

If any or all of these statements applied to you, and especially if you’re over the age of 30, then you may have rosacea. And if you do, it is important to recognize that this is a chronic condition which will need to be treated and taken care of, more than likely, for the rest of your life.

Your general health, and how you take care of yourself, can play a big role in how severely your rosacea manifests itself. Getting plenty of rest, and avoiding hot (temperature) foods and drinks, as well as avoiding spicy foods, may help with your rosacea. Avoiding extremely hot showers, and drying with a rough towel, can also make a difference. If nothing else, maybe you can monitor your lifestyle and diet by keeping a diary of what seem to set off particularly bad occurrences of rosacea, and make appropriate adjustments to how you eat and drink and your sleep schedule.
