The Face Of A Rosacea Sufferer

What does a person look like when they have rosacea? That question can be answered if the subtype is known. There are four subtypes of rosacea and each one has different characteristics. There are 13 million faces across America with rosacea.

Most of the faces of those with rosacea are female. Men who do have rosacea usually have a severe intensity as opposed to mild or moderate which most women with rosacea have.

The typical individual who is prone to rosacea has fair complexion, fair colored eyes, fair colored hair and between the ages of 30 and 60. The individual at risk for rosacea also blushes easily and feels heat on the face when they are embarrassed. They may also feel hot or flushed in the face after they have consumed alcohol or hot, spicy foods and also hot beverages or extremely cold beverages or foods.

What each subtype looks like on the sufferer:

The individual with the subtype of erythematotelangiectatic rosacea will often experience quick flushing of the skin and has small blood vessels on or near the skin surface. The face may have permanent redness. They may experience a burning sensation on the skin.

The individual with the subtype of ocular rosacea will have dry, red, itchy eyes and eyelids. This subtype occurs in half of those who have rosacea.

The individual with the subtype of papulopustular rosacea has a face that looks much like they suffer from acne. They have pustules that contain pus and papules that look like red bumps. They also have various degrees of redness to their skin.

The individual with phymatous rosacea has red bumps on the skin surface with possible thickening of the skin over the nose, chin, forehead or the cheeks and ear. All of these areas may be affected or only some of them. There may also be small blood vessels that have expanded and appear in the reddened area.

The face of the rosacea sufferer should not be touched with anything that is rough such as a loofah or a rough towel. They should not use anything on the face that has any ingredients in it that may be considered an irritant like alcohol, dye or fragrance.

Sometimes the face of someone with rosacea is mistaken with acne because of the similar red bumps and pustules with pus. Like acne, rosacea can sometimes appear on other body parts besides the face such as the neck and back. The face of someone with acne is usually belonging to someone who is young (a child or teenager) and the face of someone with rosacea is an adult (age 30 to 60).

The face is usually the one body part that most people first notice when meeting a new person. Presenting a face to make a good first impression can be difficult when it is the face of a rosacea sufferer because it is often red, contains pustules and red bumps.
