Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that often occurs between the ages of 30 and 50. It is characterised by redness and flushing across the nose and cheeks but can also affect the neck, chest, eyes and ears. Rosacea is more prevalent in pale skinned people of European descent, and so is also known as the “Celtic Curse”. This condition occurs more frequently in women however men are more likely to experience severe manifestations such as deformities of the nose. Currently there are no completely effective therapeutic treatments however, the condition is manageable with diet and lifestyle and there are a number of topical treatments emerging that are proving to be beneficial.
