It has been estimated that more than 14 million people in the US suffer from Rosacea. Though the number of persons affected with Rosacea is alarming, the National Rosacea Society says that only a small number of them are being treated.
Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that affects both the adults and children of any skin type.
As the cause of Rosacea is yet to be known, the cure is still at large. Though complete cure is not known, scientific advancements are now offering Rosacea sufferers a ray of hope for controlling the symptoms of this chronic skin disease. Rosacea requires extended treatment periods that can bring back wellness for those who suffer from this skin disease. It has also been found that these extended treatments can cause many side effects. While the topical agents are known to cause high skin sensitivity, the antibiotics (oral) can affect the intestinal bacteria if used for a long period.
