ROSACEA SPOTS SKIN CARE TREATMENT

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition common among fair-skinned people. Rosacea mostly affects the face. It is often mistaken for other skin problems like acne, eczema or skin allergy. Although the causes of rosacea are not fully understood there is no cure for this condition. The person suffering from rosacea is advised to practice ways that can help relieve the symptoms. Formation of facial pustules is considered to be the main symptom. Other symptoms include inflamed blood vessels and blushing (easily).
