Who is affected by rosacea
Over 13 million people in North America have rosacea, a very common skin condition.1 It occurs more often in other parts of the world, especially in northern and eastern European countries.
Rosacea:
- Usually begins between the ages of 30 and 60.
- Is more common in women, but the severe cases are more common in men.
- Is most common in people with fair skin, including those of northern and eastern European descent (such as Celtic, English, and Scottish), although it can occur with any skin colour.
