Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin condition that causes redness, commonly affecting the face, specifically the nose, chin, forehead & cheeks. It can appear on the neck, back or chest. As rosacea progresses the redness becomes a severe rosy appearance with visible blood vessels.

It can also cause the eyes to become irritated, bloodshot or watery. It can cause the nose to appear swollen. While the symptoms vary from person to person, there are main symptoms & others that can also develop. Each person affected with rosacea will have at least one main symptom.
