Rocesea is an incurable condition affecting fourteen million Americans.


Typically, signs of rosacea begin to appear after a person's thirtieth birthday. These first signs show as reddened patches of skin. Over time, the red patches can develop small bumps or thickened bumps within them. The disorder can also cause the skin to have a flushed appearance.Although there is no cure for rosacea, proper skin care can keep flare-ups minimal. Rosacea is not contagious and most experts believe it is caused by an underlying condition involving overactive blood vessels. Many dermatologists recommend the use of a hypoallergenic facial wash in the mornings to prevent rosacea flare-ups.
Reply:Avoid all forms of heat and avoid hot water on your face. This includes the heat of the sun. Heat causes redness(erythema) and thin skin (atrophy). Your goal should be to keep the skin cool. Spray your skin with cool water when you feel your face getting hot while exercising or drinking alcohol, spicy food, etc. Be aware that steroid creams will thin the skin more. Suntan lotions and some skin moisturisers contain oil that clog your pores and will make your skin redder.
