Rosacea: You Are Not Alone


When you suffer from any ailment that shows up prominently on your face, you may feel uncomfortable and alone. You may think that when someone looks at you, all they see is the redness, the swelling and the pustules that often are caused by rosacea. Rosacea outbreaks are hard to cover up, even in a mild outbreak. Rosacea causes you to feel very self-conscious and will leave you wondering when you will ever feel normal again.

There is good news. When you have rosacea, you are not alone. Millions of people suffer from rosacea, both men and women have it and many cases are probably much worse than yours. In fact, it is estimated that rosacea affects approximately 14 million people living in the United States. Those numbers are staggering when you consider that that equals out to one in every 20. Chances are, you probably know somebody very close you that suffer from this type of skin disease and you may not even know it. In addition, many of these people who suffer from rosacea may not even know it themselves. Very mild cases of rosacea may simply resemble a mild outbreak of acne or sensitivity to the sun or facial care products. Doctors even overlook rosacea from time to time, if the symptoms are very mild. So who else suffers from rosacea?

It is estimated that more women than men are prone to developing rosacea in their lifetime than anyone else. Middle aged women are twice as likely to have rosacea than younger women. In fact, women going through menopause are prone to rosacea as well Men also suffer from rosacea. It is estimated that among men, while the cases are fewer, the cases of rosacea are often more severe than those of women of the same age. If you are between the ages of 30 and 60 years old and you are a prime target from developing rosacea. If you are over 60 years old and have never had a problem with the skin condition, chances are, you probably will not get it in your lifetime.

The color of your skin also determines whether or not you are more likely to develop rosacea. People with fair skin are more likely to develop problems with rosacea than anyone else. This could be because it is easier to see the rosacea outbreaks or simply because it is hereditary. If you have Celtic, Eastern European or northern European heritage, then you are more likely to have problems with rosacea during your lifetime. This is not to say that other people cannot develop rosacea because it can happen. It simply means that if you are fair skin or pale, you are more likely to suffer from rosacea.

Heredity plays a large factor in whether or not you will have problems with rosacea. If cases of rosacea of runs in your family, then you will want to be especially aware of this problem. It seems that it can be passed down from generation to generation.
