Rosacea is a skin disorder that affects more than 14 million Americans. This disease typically strikes individuals beginning between the ages of 30 to 50. Physicians and skin care professionals are seeing rapidly increasing numbers of patients as the “aging” population continues to grow. This often baffling disease can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Rosacea is chronic and progressive, often leading to severe disfigurement. It also causes tremendous emotional distress and embarrassment due to the persistent redness and lesions. This comprehensive presentation addresses recognition, causative factors, and prescription and non-prescription treatment options. (Includes slide presentation.)
