London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/16/2014 -- Rosacea is a chronic condition that affects the skin. The medical profession is not sure as to the exact cause of rosacea, it is thought to be hereditary. Sufferers are most commonly blonde haired, fair skinned women in the 30-40 age range, men aren’t as prone to suffering from rosacea as women are but men with the condition generally suffer worse symptoms.

In the early stages of rosacea a lot of sufferers find that they blush more easily and they can suffer from persistent redness, the redness is due to dilation of blood vessels.

Rosacea can affect any body part but it most commonly occurs on the face and neck. Rosacea can cause sufferers to experience relationship problems, a lot sufferers dread contact with people, they can become reclusive and many find the condition effects their social life.

Anyone who suspects that they have rosacea should try to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated it can develop and cause something know medically as rhinophyma, this is when the skin becomes very thick. Something known as telangieotasia often occurs on the chin, cheeks and nose it occurs when small blood vessels that are located beneath the skin become visible.
