Rosacea – A Growing Skin Concern for the Aging Population
Rosacea is a skin disorder that affects over 14 million Americans. This disease typically strikes individuals over the age of 40. Physicians and Skin Care Professionals are seeing rapidly increasing numbers of patients as the “aging” population continues to grow. This often-baffling disease can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Rosacea is chronic and progressive, often leading to severe disfigurement. It also causes tremendous emotional distress and embarrassment due to the persistent redness and lesions.
