Is rosacea caused by abnormal sebaceous gland growth or activity?

Rosacea Patients, frequently asked questions and rosacea fac...
No, the average rosacea sufferer has normal sebaceous glands (both in structure and activity). Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that true rosacea does not involve the facial sebaceous glands. Please note that there is one exception to this rule -- rosacea sufferers who develop rhinophyma (the bulbous red nose). After years of flushing, rhinophyma sufferers may experience inflammation and growth of the sebaceous glands around the nose.

In fact, some rosacea sufferers who exhibit excellent hygiene and are aggressive in their cleansing and exfoliating ritual may actually be making the underlying rosacea worse. It is good practice to keep the face clean and moist, but this has very little bearing on rosacea.
