Rosacea is a skin disease that occurs in phases on the face and can be painful in severe cases. It is characterized by persistent redness on the cheeks, nose and forehead, as well as red nodules, pustules and deposits of tissue fluid in the skin.
Rosacea is often confused with acne, although they have different causes. An accurate diagnosis by a dermatologist is important to receive the right treatment and avoid permanent thickening of the skin layers.
Rosacea occurs in about 2-5% of the population, mainly in middle-aged people between 30 and 50 years of age. Women are more commonly affected than men, with men often suffering from more severe forms such as rhinophyma ("bulbous nose").
The term rosacea means "little rose petals" and is also known as "face rose" or "copper rose" due to the reddish changes on the face. Couperose, a dilation of blood vessels, is often confused with rosacea, but can be an early stage of it. An experienced doctor can make an accurate diagnosis and initiate the appropriate treatment.
