Rosacea
What are the risk factors?
Risk factors are characteristics that can make an individual more likely to develop a condition. Having specific risk factors does not necessarily mean that getting a particular disease or condition is certain. However, having more than one risk factor usually increases the chance of developing the condition. If you have risk factors for rosacea, you may want to discuss ways to prevent or treat it with your doctor. Some of the main risk factors associated with developing rosacea are:
- Being female
- Having light-colored skin
- Being 30 to 50 years of age
- Having a close family member with the condition
- Being from any of the following ethnic backgrounds: English, Scottish, Scandinavian, and Northern or Eastern European
