title: Identifying and treating rosacea.
abstract: Rosacea is a chronic, cutaneous vascular disorder that affects approximately 13 million Americans. The facial disorder, which often affects people of Northern European descent, is characterized by four stages. Although rosacea is not curable, early recognition and treatment can prevent progression to permanent disfigurement or blindness. Pharmacologic therapy, patient education, and symptom management can provide symptom control and remission.
