Dermatologists tried to turn rosacea into a disease; and the public revolted finding rosacea occasionally attractive. Desperate, the industry is trying to make people think gross things when they think of rosacea. Even if people don’t buy the mite feces hypothesis, the thought of facial feces alone will make people be turned off at the thought of rosacea.
Famous victims of rosacea include Princess Diana, Bill Clinton, W.C. Fields, Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey, and oh, yes... FREAKING SANTA CLAUS!!! I don’t yet, but I won’t be shocked if I get it.
Dermatologists are also trying to make freckles sound like a disease. “Conjunctival Melanocytic Lesions.”
W.C. Fields had a severe case. No wonder he was so cranky.
Santa Claus? I always took his rosy cheeks to be the result of that frigid North Pole air—or the nips he takes to keep from feeling that frigid North Pole air.
