Rosacea, also called adult acne or acne rosacea, is a facial skin condition marked by a recurring redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. Left untreated, the redness becomes more permanent, and, in advanced cases, the nose may become bumpy, red, and swollen from excess tissue. In some cases the eyes also may be affected, and the condition can result in vision loss.

This review is from: Rosacea: Your Self-Help Guide (Paperback)

I originally got this book at the library and read it. There is so much good information in it that I have purchased it on Amazon. I just developed rosacea in the last 6 months so I am devouring everything that I can find on it..this book will become my hand book. I have recommended it to others who are suffering from this.
it is also an easy read and very well written.

This review is from: Rosacea: Your Self-Help Guide (Paperback)

I just received this book, and already I like it! It has a lot of information about rosacea, about treatment, and ways I can do something about it. Most of this is new information to me. Beginning with an exact description of my experience in being diagnosed (down to the two pamphlets and vagueness), I found a lot to think about and to be surprised and comforted by.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was a Godsend!, Oct 9 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rosacea: Your Self-Help Guide (Paperback)

Rosacea had been making my life miserable for the past five years. My depression over the disease was literally ruining my life. A fellow rosacean suggested this book to me after she found it so helpful. I have been following the suggestions in the book for a little over a month now. There is no doubt that my skin has begun to dramatically improve. I hope the author reads these reviews, because I want her to know how thankful I am to her. If you have rosacea, get this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the better introductory rosacea texts
This is a gentle book. It makes very gentle claims about the broad applicability of what it has to say. The book could be summarised in one sentence. Read more
