An estimated 16 million Americans have rosacea, yet only a small fraction are being treated. In addition to raising public awareness and supporting research, the National Rosacea Society provides information that may help rosacea patients better understand their disorder and more effectively manage its signs and symptoms.
To learn more about rosacea, its symptoms and treatment, read All About Rosacea. In Faces of Rosacea, view patient photographs depicting the signs and symptoms of the disorder, while Treatment Photos provide a before-and-after look at some treatment options. You may also want to read the Rosacea FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions in a variety of categories. For information on Medical Therapy and other measures to control rosacea, read Management Options. The Rosacea Triggers charts list lifestyle and environmental factors that may aggravate the condition, while Skin Care & Cosmetics provides guidance on caring for your skin and its appearance, including Makeup Tips. In Seborrheic Dermatitis, a common concurrent condition is also discussed.

The National Rosacea Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of people with rosacea by raising awareness, providing public health information and supporting medical research on this widespread but little-known disorder. The information the Society provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace
consultation with a qualified physician. The Society does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Rosacea may vary substantially from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. For more information, visit About Us.
