Does Heredity Play A Part In The Development of Rosacea?

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 by admin

Though there is no conclusive evidence that proves that rosacea is passed from generation to generation, survey results published by the National Rosacea Society certainly seems to suggest that it may play a part.

It was reported that almost 52% of survey respondents (600 person sample size) acknowledged that someone in their family had or presently have rosacea. More interesting was that of those who confirmed that they did have a relative with rosacea that most indicated that it was a person in the immediate family.

Based on the high percentage of sufferers with relatives and family members also experiencing rosacea symptoms, it would seem that there is a high probability that heredity has a part to play in a person’s development of rosacea. So, if you are concerned about developing this skin condition or are experiencing symptoms, you may need to look no further than your family members for confirmation!

Incidence Of Rosacea Symptoms Increase Dramatically

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 by admin

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.

Are Natural Rosacea Cures The Answer?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 by admin

It seems that rosacea affects more women than men, with a higher occurrence of the disease in the middle-aged group. Thus, the majority of patients are people between 30 and 60, but here we ought to add that black skin is more difficult to diagnose. Yet, there is not enough clinical evidence to support the idea that acne rosacea affects fair-skinned people most of the times.

What Does Rosacea Look Like?

The acne blemishes specific to the disease are most often distributed in the nose area, on the cheeks and chin, but the central forehead doesn’t get spared either. Although the oily appearance of the skin makes acne rosacea resemble acne vulgaris, differences do exist. In traditional acne forms, comedones have no limitation of extent, whereas with rosacea they don’t even appear in the flush areas. Moreover, rosacea is characterized by hypertrophy which is not common with acne vulgaris. Viewing rosacea pictures of the different symptoms can offer more insights into these common symptoms.

Treating Rosacea

Since rosacea is a chronic disease its evolution usually expands over several years marked by critical episodes characterized by inflammation. Corticosteroids are commonly prescribed for the alleviation of the symptoms, but they are not suitable for long-term therapy because of the risk to cause an atrophy or permanent vaso-dilation of the tissues. Most doctors will therefore choose to recommend the systemic treatment instead of the topical one. This is why natural rosacea cures can prove to be a better treatment strategy for long term use.

Is It Rosacia, Roscea or Rosacea?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by admin

Not surprisingly, the skin affliction called “rosacea” is is at the top of the list for incorrectly spelled skin afflictions in the field of medicine.  It is incorrectly called rosacae, roseca, roseaca, rosacia and a host of other names, but the correct spelling of this socially disruptive skin disorder is r-o-s-a-c-e-a.

You will also hear this skin affliction called acne rosacea because its symptoms (i.e. pimples, pustules, whiteheads) closely resembling the widespread skin affliction called Acne Vulgaris, which translated is ‘common acne.’  However rosacia is something totally different .  This skin disorder primarily attacks the facial skin and is characterized by times of skin aggravation followed by a period of remission.  A primary difference from acne is that rosacea generally begins after the age of 30 and can be “caught” by men and women well into their late 40’s.

Most Popular Misspellings of The Term Rosacea

Our studies have shown that an amazing 10% of the searches performed on leading search engines by men and women searching for more information about Rosacea are misspelled versions of the exact medical name.  Compiling a list of the highest incident mis-spellings, the search engines have reported the following terms being entered:  rosacia, rosecea, roseacea, roscea, roseaca.

These inaccurate spellings are not the exception.  In fact, they are entered into the largest search engine between 325 times for the highest incident of mis-spelled terms (rosacia) down to 33 times for the lowest (rosacae) on an average day.   Even as you might expect that the big search engines don’t encourage misspellings, you will find a number of pages utilizing these misspelled terms to try to support the men and women with rosacea who just can’t get the spelling quite right.

Dealing With Rosacea

Despite how you spell out “Rosacea”, the list of symptoms are not consistent from person to person.  Even though each man or woman suffering with this skin disease can have slightly different symptoms and various degrees of severity, the disease can quite often be diagnosed easily by an experienced dermatologist.  The leading symptoms can be identified as a reddening of the cheeks, chin, nose or forehead.  The good news is that the symptoms are transient and periods of remission generally follow exacerbations .

The truth is that there is no known solution for this skin disease.  However, with appropriate treatment and changes to certain habits, this disease can effectively be controlled.   So, whether we spell it rosacia, roscea, or roseca, the symptoms and social effects will be the same.
