What is it?

Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, often presents as small, red, pus-filled bumps primarily on the cheeks, nose and forehead, occasionally affecting the eyes. Additionally, symptoms may include facial swelling, dryness, flakiness, visible broken blood vessels and persistent redness of the skin. 

It's important to note that due to its similar appearance, rosacea can be easily mistaken for other skin conditions like acne, allergic reactions or eczema.
