Rosacea is one of the most common conditions dermatologists treat. Disease is characterized by transient or persistent central facial erythema, visible blood vessels, papules and pustules. The cause of rosacea remains unclear. Several hypotheses have been documented – vascular abnormalities, environmental factors or microorganisms like Demodex folliculorum and Helicobacter pylori. Treatment targets usually the signs and symptoms of the disease. Gentle skin care is necessary.
