Is rosacea a progressive disorder?
Rosacea is a progressive disorder. It will get worse over time if left untreated. As blood vessels become more damaged and hyper-responsive, this causes increased flushing, papules and pustules. It must be stressed that everyone is different in their susceptibility to flushing. For example, it may take one rosacea sufferer several months to progress from pre-rosacea to mild rosacea; while it may take another rosacea sufferers a decade to progress to the next stage.
