Rosacea Is Often Mistaken For Acne
Many U.S. adults with redness, pimples and visible blood vessels on their face may think they have acne, but they may have rosacea.
Rosacea is skin condition that if it is not treated early, can continue to flare or begin to worsen, but a visit to a dermatologist who can make the correct diagnosis and recommend treatments and skin care products that will control the rosacea and keep the skin healthy.
"Rosacea can have devastating effects on self-esteem because it is so noticeable on the face," said dermatologist Dr. James Q. Del Rosso, clinical assistant professor in the department of dermatology at the University of Nevada, in Las Vegas. "It is important for individuals with rosacea to seek treatment early to avoid progression of the condition and avoid any permanent scarring to the face."
As many as 14 million Americans have rosacea, most between the ages of 30 and 50.
Del Rosso presented the findings at the 64th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.
