Most Common Skin Disorders And Conditions

Rosacea

Rosacea a common skin disorder characterized by a predisposition for the skin to blush or become flushed easily. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there are four types of rosacea: Erythematotelangiectatic, typified by redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels in the face; Papulopustular, typified by redness and swelling of the face, as well as breakouts that resemble acne; Phymatous, typified by thick, bumpy skin; and Ocular, typified by red, irritated, and swollen eyes.

Rosacea is prevalent mostly in white women, though it is typically more severe in men and can eventually result in rhinophyma. There are no tests for diagnosing this skin condition, and dermatologists typically diagnose it through medical evaluations that rule out other potential causes. Treatment plans involve switching to gentle skin care products, avoiding triggers, and using subtype-specific remedies, such as laser treatment, surgery, or topical ointments. Over fourteen million individuals live with rosacea worldwide.
