| It is three times more common in women, but usually more severe in men. Rosacea used to be called "acne rosacea" but it is different from acne. The red spots and pustules are dome-shaped rather than pointed and there are no blackheads, whiteheads, deep cysts, or lumps. Rosacea affects the cheeks, nose and forehead - rarely, it involves the trunk and upper limbs. Flushing is prevalent, and migraine headaches are three times more common amongst sufferers. It affects people mainly in their 30s and 40s, especially those with fair-skin, blue eyes or of Celtic origin. Facial flushing can make symptoms worse and even cause flare-ups in patients whose rosacea had been under control. It is the chronic flushing in rosacea which causes the telangiectasia. In more advanced cases of rosacea, a condition called rhinophyma may develop. |
