What Is Rosacea?
4. Rosacea and Chronic Diseases
Some studies suggest that rosacea is associated with a number of chronic diseases. These include rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes. One Danish research study conducted on rosacea patients’ records found that rosacea patients were about twice as likely to have type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease than those without the condition.
Rosacea patients also had a more than one-and-a-half times likelihood of having multiple sclerosis. Rosacea has also been linked to diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and migraines. However, it is unclear how rosacea is linked to these other diseases.
