Rosacea: Not Curse of the Celts, But of Many More | Biomedgrid

From what I can remember from my medical studies, a long time ago, when our Professors were naming rosacea as “acne-rosacea”, there was always a mention to its nickname: the “Curse of the Celts”. Hence our formation was including the notion that rosacea was more common among the fair-haired, blue-eyed “Nordic type” [1]. Meanwhile, over the years and with more experience and a deeper knowledge of other continents and populations, I was able to observe that this notion was not exactly and even far from being correct.
