Rosacea mainly affects the cheeks, nose and forehead, the central part of the face. It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. The problem effects about 1 in every 10 people; it is difficult to treat and there is no known cure at present.

For sufferers, the need is to work out what the triggers are or other factors that can make outbreaks worse, including and as well as, exposure to the sun.
