A Swedish study demonstrated a prevalence of approximately 10% in the general population.1 In the United States, it is believed that there are 13 million people affected with rosacea. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 50 years and although both genders can be affected, it is more common in women, with more men experiencing the phymatous changes. Rosacea is also more prevalent in fair-skinned than dark-skinned individuals. Sun damage, a propensity to flush, and genetic predisposition are risk factors in acquiring rosacea.
