Scientists Discover Clues to Cause of Rosacea
Acne Rosacea, also known as adult acne, is an inflammatory skin disease that affects about 14 million Americans between the age of 30 and 60 and is more common in women than in men.
A team of researchers from the U.S., France and Japan found that people with rosacea have high levels of the anti microbial peptide cathelicidin in their skin, which produces proteins that are different from those found in people who do not have the disease. Another important contributor to the development of the condition is an enzyme called stratum corneum tryptic enzyme (SCTE).
