Rosacea is a common skin condition that is very treatable. It can show up as facial redness, visible veins, and small bumps on the face.

Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that results in facial redness and itchiness. The main symptoms are very similar to acne - small red bumps and pustules. That is why Rosacea is often called adult acne, but the disease has nothing to do with blackheads and pimples that affect teens.

&nbsp;
The causes of Rosacea are unknown, but scientists think it is due to environmental and hereditary factors. Although the main cause is a mystery, many factors can trigger the disease or make it worse. Avoid activities that provoke an inflammatory reaction, such as alcoholic beverages and junk food.

&nbsp;
Rosacea is a chronic condition that comes and goes in cycles. It can worsen with time when left untreated and cause pimples and nasal bumps. There is no cure for this disease, but proper treatment can control the symptoms and prevent it from getting worse. Treatment options depend on specific symptoms and include medications and self-help measures.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
