Adult Acne Rosacea


Adult acne rosacea is a type of skin disorder that normally shows up on the middle part of the face. This type of condition affects women more than men but normally men exhibit severe symptoms. Although you can experience this infection at any age, the onset of symptoms normally occur in people over the age of 30. This infection affects areas around the nose, the forehead and the chin. The affected areas are reddened and can become full of pimples. This type of disease mostly affects adults who have a fair skin. It affects people of English and Scottish descent.

Although the cause of adult acne rosacea is unknown, stress can lead to flare ups. People who commonly blush are said to have more breakouts. Exposure to the sun is also known to contribute to the disease. Some experts believe that the bacteria Helicobacter pylori can also lead to this infection.

One of the symptoms of this condition is a red patchy skin that surrounds the affected area. The patches normally appear around the mouth, the nose as well as the eyes. Another symptom of the disease is the blood vessels in the affected area become enlarged and visible. This is as a result of dilating. Most of these vessels are found near or on the nose or on the cheeks.

Adult acne rosacea is incurable but it can be regulated with treatment. If you have this condition, don’t go for over-the-counter products because they can cause more irritation and worsen the situation. It is important that you see a dermatologist who will prescribe you oral and topical medications.
