About RosaceaAcne RosaceaAcne rosacea is a chronic acne disorder affecting both the skin and the eye. Acne rosacea is a misleading term. Acne rosacea is not true acne, but rather an inflammation of the face, neck or chest that results in red, bumpy, oily skin. Acne rosacea usually appears in people aged 30 to 60. It often begins as a short-term condition that can become chronic and cause facial scarring if not treated. Many of the more commonly accepted products used to treat acne can actually cause further damage to the skin resulting in other skin conditions such as rosacea. These products are frequently used to open the pores (exfoliants, various acid-based products, and retinoids) but can be very drying and irritating to the skin. Rosacea consists of more than just pimples. People with rosacea may be prone to prolonged episodes of facial flushing and tend to develop numerous "broken" blood vessels (telangiectasias), and overgrown oil glands on the face and neck (sebaceous hyperplasia). In more advanced cases, these oil glands may merge on the nose to give a strawberry type nose (rhinophyma). Eyelid irritations (blepharitis), as well as other types of eye problems, are also associated with rosacea. To learn more about rosacea, click on the links below.
