What is Roseria? I heard it is a skin disease that turns your skin red in spots. What is it and where does it come from? And, how do a person catch it?

There is nothing called as Roseria. I think you are referring to Rosacea. Rosacea is a chronic skin disease (long term disease) that affects the skin and sometimes eyes.

The disorder is characterized by frequent redness mostly at the center of the face (nose, cheeks, forehead and chin), maybe burning feeling and slight swelling, pimples, and, in advanced stages, thickened skin. Rosacea usually affects the face. In the US, about 14 million people have rosacea.

Most commonly, women (especially during menopause), people with fair skin and adults between 30 to 60 years of age have rosacea.

The exact cause of rosacea is not known and it is an area for future research. Some doctors feel rosacea occurs when blood vessels expand easily and cause flushing. It is thought that it may be inherited and those who blush a lot may be more likely to get rosacea. One or more of these factors may worsen rosacea, though it requires further research.

Heavy exercise

Heat (which includes hot baths)

Wind

Sunlight

Very cold temperatures

Foods and drinks which are hot or spicy

Alcohol consumption

Menopause

Emotional and psychological stress

Long-term use of steroids on the face
