Incidence Of Rosacea Symptoms Increase Dramatically

The results of recent studies have revealed that the incidence of rosacea is on the rise. The National Rosacea Society is now estimating that over 16 million Americans are suffering from the symptoms and effects of rosacea, with millions more being in temporary remission. While these statistics are shocking in themselves, they most likely underestimate the true number of rosacea sufferers.
Even with the rosacea treatments and proper skin care having helped millions of Americans with their symptoms, the increase in the aging population has resulted in an increase of this chronic skin condition over the past 10 years. Keep in mind that rosacea can occur at any age, but it is most prevalent for those reaching middle age. So, what we are most likely seeing is the massive Baby Boom generation starting to affect the statistics. And if you are a fair skinned individual, your incident rate will be even higher than the general population.
Previous estimates by the National Rosacea Society had put the number of rosacea sufferers in the U. S. at 14 million people.
