Can Rosacea Be Harmful?
While medical problems are typically not an issue for patients who suffer from rosacea, they often go hand in hand with anxiety and psychological issues. The capillaries in rosacea sufferers are prone to break, and these leak blood beneath the skin may cause the reddening or flushed look that rosacea sufferers have.
