ROSACEA
Rosacea, pronounced as rose-AY-sha, is a chronic skin condition that leads to flushing and redness on the face.
This condition can develop gradually, leading to persistent redness, acne-like bumps, and visible blood vessels on the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. In some patients, rosacea also affects the eyes and causes dry and irritated eyes.
Rosacea may be mistaken for other common rashes on the face such as acne or dermatitis.
