AB Rosacea  is  a  well  recognized,  chronic,  cutaneous  condition  presenting  as  central  facial  erythema,  telangiectasia,  papules,  and  pustules.  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.
