Who Gets Rosacea?
Rosacea is most common in Caucasian women between the age of 30 and 60. However, when the disorder does occur in men, it tends to be more severe than in women, and is sometimes accompanied by rhinophyma (a nose that becomes chronically red and enlarged). Fair-skinned individuals seem to be more susceptible to this condition than darker-skinned individuals. People who flush easily, too, seem to be more prone than others to develop rosacea. Rosacea is not a life-threatening illness, but it is chronic and can be distressing for cosmetic reasons, and can cause physical discomfort.
