Rosacea, known as the “Curse of the Celts” since it was thought to affect mainly fair skinned people of Northern European descent, may appear more often in people of color than previously suspected and may be underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
While more women than men get rosacea - 3 to 1 in some studies - men tend to have more severe symptoms and need to be aware of the signs of this condition.
Although rosacea is primarily known as a skin condition, up to half of rosacea sufferers also experience eye involvement, known as ocular rosacea.
