Dr. Brian McDonough on Rosacea



NEW YORK -- Is your face red even when you haven’t been out in the sun or exercising? 

It is possible that you have a condition called Rosacea. 

There are often other symptoms associated with Rosacea. 

For instance, people with it can have bumps or pimples and even blood vessels that are visible. Fair-skinned people and people over thirty are susceptible to it. And for people with chronic or long term Rosacea, the condition can lead to a ruddy complexion. 

The cause of Rosacea is unknown, and there is no cure. Dermatologists recommend certain creams to help control it and cosmetics have been developed to conceal it. 

The interesting point is despite the fact it’s very common, very few people who have it know what it is and they wonder why their faces are so red.
