Article Excerpts about Rosacea
Rosacea, previously called acne rosacea, is a chronic skin
disease that affects both the skin and the eyes. The disorder is
characterized by redness, bumps, pimples, and, in advanced stages,
thickened skin on the nose. Rosacea usually occurs on the face, although
the neck and upper chest are also sometimes involved. A mild degree of
eye (ocular) involvement occurs in more than 50 percent of people with
rosacea. (Source: excerpt from Questions and Answers About Rosacea: NIAMS)
Definitions of Rosacea:
A cutaneous disorder primarily of convexities of the central part of the FACE, such as FOREHEAD; CHEEK; NOSE; and CHIN. It is characterized by FLUSHING; ERYTHEMA; EDEMA; RHINOPHYMA; papules; and ocular symptoms. It may occur at any age but typically after age 30. There are various subtypes of rosacea: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular (National Rosacea Society's Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea, J Am Acad Dermatol 2002; 46:584-7).
