What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a non- contagious skin condition that effects the middle third of the face causing persistent redness over the areas of the face and nose that normally blush. The tiny vessels in these areas enlarge, and become visible through the skin, appearing like tiny red lines. It effects mostly people in their 30s-50s and who are fair skinned, it is very rare to see in children.
Acne can also occur in these areas, it is often mistaken for commen acne, but it is known as Rosacea acne. They appear as small acne-like lumps on the surface of the skin around the chin, cheeks and forehead.
