It’s mostly common in women compared to men, but when men are affected it can be very severe. Rosacea doesn’t have whiteheads or blackheads like other acne.
Causes
Rosacea is a common skin disease found in people, the causes are still not clearly known. The presence of a certain bacteria on the skin is responsible for development of rosacea. There is a popular belief that people who blush a lot are more prone to this skin condition.
