Does rosacea affect facial hair growth?

Asked By:rkelly109 in Tennessee, TN

I'm 31, have rosacea, and it seems that the only places that I can grow facial hair are the places where there is no redness due to rosacea (upper lip, chin), which makes me wonder if rosacea inhibits facial hair growth. Correct me if I'm wrong but a terminal hair needs to be rooted to a sebaceous gland. If rosacea causes inflammation is that why the vellus hair on my cheeks has not turned terminal because the skin is inflammed?
