Rosacea Causes

Rosacea causes

        It is often called the misleading disease because people tend to confuse, especially at an early stage, with a sunburn or acne, and so neglect to consult a doctor. It is therefore essential to inform the public about the symptoms of the disease and the importance of obtaining early diagnosis and begin treatment before their condition deteriorates further and affects their lifestyle. This condition which is characterized often by periods of relapse and remission usually occurs shortly after the thirties by the intermittent appearance of redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Over time, the redness can become more serious and persistent, and small dilated blood vessels may become visible (called telangiectasia). Without treatment, they often notice the appearance of papules (bumps) and pustules (pimples), and at a later stage, the nose may become swollen and bumpy. In many people, their eyes will also tend to sting, to weep and to inject blood. Patients complain of discomfort in the face, such as burning, tingling or itching. Signs may extend beyond the face or the neck, chest, scalp and ears.
