April is Rosacea Awareness Month
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects the face. In the early stages it causes easy flushing or blushing and as it progresses the redness may become permanent as the small blood vessels of the face dilate. It can also include small, red, acne-like bumps or pustules. And though it looks like a bad case of acne, it’s actually a chronic illness that alternates between flare-ups and remissions at intervals of a few weeks to a few months. The cause of rosacea is unknown and if it’s not treated it tends to get worse over time.
