About Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin issue typically affecting adults over 30. It causes redness and swelling on the face and is particularly noticeable in the areas associated with blushing.

Redness occurs when blood vessels in the face become dilated. Some patients also have bumps, lesions, and pimples similar to acne. Other symptoms include burning or soreness in the eye area.

Most of those who suffer from this skin disorders symptoms may realize somethings wrong but are unaware they have Rosacea.

There is no cure for Rosacea, which tends to manifest itself in periodic flare-ups followed by periods of remission, during which the disorders characteristic blotches of redness, bumps, and pimples disappear. A common trigger for a rosacea flare-up is overexposure to the sun, which is lessened by using a high SPF sunscreen and wearing a hat.

Although Rosacea has no cure, studies show the skin disorder can minimize the intensity of flare-ups and avoid its potentially life-disruptive effects.

The first-line treatment of choice for Rosacea is a topical application of the antibiotic metronidazole, which is available in a topical gel marketed under the brand name MetroGel.
