Types of Rosacea: Facial redness or erythema is best defined as a lengthy flush of embarrassment or emotion that can last for a few minutes to many hours. While for many others it is the more constant redness or blotchy flushed appearance that becomes the cause of embarrassment. The redness is generally located on the cheek area but can spread down to the chin, neck or even upper chest. In some cases the forehead may also be involved. This redness can be associated with many things such as food, dust, environmental or chemical allergies, stress, over-exertion, exercise, alcohol, extreme heat or cold. As the flushing becomes more pronounced erythematotelangiectatic rosacea also known as spidery veins and arteries may be present. This is a permanent redness in the facial area with a tendency to flush and blush more readily. It is also common to have small blood vessels visible near the surface of the skin (spider veins) and possibly burning or itching sensations. Adult acne rosacea once a term used interchangeably to define rosacea may also refer to the occurrence of rosacea and acne together. Acne occurs in 82% of rosacea suffers and often times the aggressive Azelaic and salicylic acids and various treatments used to control acne can lead to a more difficult to control rosacea. Ocular rosacea can cause a persistent burning or gritty feeling in the eyes. For others, ocular rosacea manifests itself as inflamed and swollen eyelids with small-inflamed bumps, eyelashes that may fall out, compounded by bloodshot eyes. Ocular rosacea affects as many as 60% of people with rosacea.More Information about rosacea can be found at The International Rosacea Foundation.
