Rosacea is a skin condition that affects approximately 14 million people in the US. More women than men have rosacea but men tend to experience more severe symptoms. Rosacea can affect the skin on the cheeks, the nose, the skin behind the ears, and even the eyes.
There are a number of suspected causes of rosacea including genetics, environment, bacteria, and common organisms but doctors have not yet isolated a single cause of the condition.
