Rosacea
Who has it?
An estimated 14 million Americans have rosacea. Sometimes called the "Curse of the Celts", rosacea is more likely to be diagnosed among fair-skinned individuals ? especially those of Celtic, Northern European, or Scandinavian origin. In populations with naturally darker skin (such as African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, or Native Americans) rosacea may be less likely to occur, it may have different symptoms, or it may not be as noticeable. Although women are two to three times as likely to develop rosacea, the condition tends to be more severe in men. Most new cases are seen in individuals who are between 30 and 50 years of age.
