acne rosacea is a fairly common skin disease. Red spots that look like pimples would appear on the faces of those who have the disease.Nevertheless these spots are not pimples but enlarged blood vessels that show through the skin, creating red color dots on various areas of the face. Generally, areas such as the chin, the forehead and the lower part of the nose commonly display acne rosacea. The name acne rosacea might actually not be the most correct name for the particular skin disease since the name is simply rosacea and the reference to acne is in fact because of the resemblance between acne and rosacea.

Acne as we all know is most common with teenagers. Acne rosacea on the contrary is most common among people with fair skin who are between the ages of 30 and 50. The good news about acne rosacea is that dissimilar to acne there are no whiteheads or blackheads. Although acne rosacea is most commonly associated with women, the disease is more severe in the case of men.

If the disease continue it is best to get medical attention. Eventhough acne rosacea normally appear and disappear suddenly, it is highly possible that it would reappear. Particularly when acne rosacea appears in the eye, disregarding the disease could result in your vision being damaged. A person with untreated acne rosacea may find his/her nose and cheeks reddening and puffing up. In the lower half of the nose and on the cheeks thick bumps might also appear, having a negative effect on the appearance. Although acne rosacea cannot generally be cured completely, it can be treated and the effects of the disease could be reduced.

A person suffering from acne rosacea should remember that any activity that would expand his/her blood vessels could aggravate the disease.

Certain cosmetics, soap and even hair sprays could aggravate acne rosacea so those with the disease should be careful in using such products. The usage of sunscreen when going outdoors could also help those suffering from the disease. Laser surgery could be used in some cases when treating this disease.
