What Causes Rosacea?
This condition can be uncomfortable, itchy, and is actually incurable. The exact causes of Rosacea are still unknown. Years of dermatological studies have provided some clues, although not definitive in every case, to what causes this skin condition.
- Rosacea can be genetic
- Acne-like rosacea can be an immune system reaction to bacteria called bacillus oleronius
- An intestinal infection from H pylori bacteria may play a role in rosacea
- Deficiency of a protein that is supposed to protect the skin from infection
