Rosacea is a disease that causes redness and pimples to form. Rosacea tends to appear first in our thirties and forties but can develop at any time in varying degrees of severity with symptoms including diffuse redness, broken capillaries and inflamed bumps or pimples. It is important not to confuse rosacea with acne as some products for acne can make rosacea worse. Recommendations for skin care include gentle cleansers and soothing creams that reduce redness and inflammation. Oral medications are available for more severe cases and there are dermatological services that can treat broken capillaries.
