Acne Rosacea.
Are there any subjective symptoms in acne rosacea?
As a rule, no. Some of the acne lesions may be tender and painful, and at times there is a feeling of heat and burning.
What do you know in regard to the etiology?
In many cases the causes are obscure. Chronic digestive and intestinal disorders, anæmia, chlorosis, continued exposure to heat or cold, menstrual and uterine irregularities, and the too free use of spirituous liquors, tea, etc. are often responsible factors.
It is essentially a disease of adult life, common about middle age, occurring in both sexes, but rarely reaching the same degree of development in women as observed at times in men.
Is acne rosacea easily recognized?
