Sometimes I stand in a room full of people and I can see the redness in their face and wonder if they know that they may have a condition called rosacea. Rosacea is common but sometimes it is not diagnosed properly or a person just may be blushing, overheating and be sunburned. Sometimes people don't even realize that they have rosacea and just think that for them it is normal to have that red look especially if other family members have it.
If you have rosacea you can halt, slow, or improve your skin by seeking medical help early and adhere to preventive measures and treatments.

The most common symptoms of rosacea are: Redness that is caused by flushing and can be persistent over time. Heating of the skin where the skin feels warm when flushing. A butterfly pattern is present which means you see it from the jawbone to the cheekbones and across the nose. Pimples may appear on the face and the skin is dry and there are no blackheads present. There are broken capillaries present on the cheeks and around the nose. The nose has a rough texture.

If the above symptoms are present it is always best to consult a medical doctor and to also use skin care products that do not irritate the condition.
