If You Have Rosacea, You're Not Alone
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. In Ask the Doctors, leading dermatologists, ophthalmologists, researchers and others answer questions posed by our readers.
The Rosacea Review is a newsletter with information on new research, surveys, tips and other activities of interest. Read it online or subscribe here.
