Abstract

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. The average incidence is around 10%. The prevalence of the disease is higher in females and ages between 20-50 years. Oxidative stress is an disequilibrium among oxidants and antioxidants. According to many of studies, reactive oxygen species along with decreased antioxidant levels are responsible for rosacea pathogenesis.
