Rosacea is a chronic skin disease characterized by facial redness, prominent capillaries (telangiectasia) and pimple-like blisters (papules-pustules).
While the prevalence of the disease varies between 4-22%, it is frequently seen in the age range of 30-50 years. It is more common in female patients and individuals with light skin color.
In the pathogenesis of rosacea, genetic, environmental factors (ultraviolet, hot-cold air, steam, spicy foods, alcohol, infections (Helicobacter pylori), cosmetic products, and stress) are involved.
