acne rosacea is a fairly frequent skin disease. Due to the disease, red spots that are similar to pimples appear on the faces of the individuals.Nevertheless these spots are not pimples but enlarged blood vessels that appear through the skin, creating red color dots on various parts of the face. Acne rosacea mainly appears on the chin, the forehead and on the lower part of the nose. Acne rosacea may not actually be the correct name for this disease as the name is merely rosacea and acne is referred to here due to the resemblance between acne and rosacea.

Acne as we all know is most frequent among teens. However, acne rosacea is most frequent among fair skinned people between the ages of 30 and 50. The good news about acne rosacea is that unlike in acne there are no whiteheads or blackheads. Acne rosacea is mostly common with women but the bad news for the guys is that the disease is worse in the case of men.

If the disease continue it is best to get medical attention. Acne rosacea could appear and automatically disappear but there is good chance of it reappearing. Especially when acne rosacea appears in the eye, ignoring the disease could lead to your vision being damaged. Untreated acne rosacea would result in one’s nose and cheeks reddening and puffing up. In the lower part of the nose and on the cheeks thick bumps might also appear, having a bad effect on the appearance. Although acne rosacea cannot generally be cured entirely, it can be treated and the effects of the disease could be reduced.

A person with acne rosacea should remember that any activity that would expand his/her blood vessels could aggravate the disease. Unfortunately, this means that certain activities such as drinking alcohol, smoking and eating any hot/spicy foods would have to be surrendered.Certain cosmetics, soap and even hair sprays could aggravate acne rosacea so those with the disease should be careful in using such products. Using sunscreen when going outdoors could also help those suffering from the disease. Sometimes laser surgery may assist in the treatment procedure.

Some who suffer from minor cases of acne roscea never realize that they even have the disease.The fact that there is no specific test for acne rosacea has been the main cause for the disease going undetected.
