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.

The cause of rosacea is unknown. However, individuals with fair skin and a history of flushing/blushing are more likely to have rosacea. Women are also at greater risk.

There are various subtypes of rosacea. Some patients may only experience minor flushing while others are plagued with irritating bumps and pimples. Characteristics of multiple subtypes can occur at the same time.
