Rosacea

Rosacea is a common, long-term skin condition that causes redness and bumps on the nose, cheeks and forehead.

What is it?

Rosacea is a long-lasting skin inflammation that often presents as red skin or a rash. It's most common in adults of middle age and older, especially those with light skin. Some patients mistake rosacea as acne, an allergic response, or eczema due to their similar symptoms.

Rosacea characteristically presents as small, red, pus-filled bumps on the cheeks, nose, forehead and occasionally the eyes. Its symptoms can include facial swelling, dry and peeling skin, visible broken blood vessels, an enlarged nose or persistent redness of the skin.
