Rosacea is a fairly common disease, especially in fair-skinned people. The disease evolves in stages. The early signs are recurrent episodes of blushing that finally becomes abnormal redness (erythema), particularly on the nose and cheeks. These are so-called flushers and blushers. Rosacea patients often experience increased redness (erythema) on the central areas of the face, caused by numerous factors: ultraviolet radiation, heat, cold, exercise, chemical irritation, strong emotions, alcoholic beverages, hot drinks, and spices.
Rosacea is always associated with sun exposure, so protection of the skin with sunscreens and cover-ups is important. Some other contributing factors may be genetic disposition (heritage); gastrointestinal disturbances; and bacteria.
