Rosacea is a common skin disease.

It often starts with a tendency of blushing more easily than other people. The rash can slowly spread beyond the nose and cheeks to the forehead and chin.

 

The ears, chest and back can also be red all the time.

Rosacea can cause more than just redness.

Acne rosacea has four subtypes:

 

1) Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: Redness, eruption of visible blood vessels.

 

2) Papacopustular rosacea: Redness, swelling, and pimples on the face like acne.

 

3) Phymatous rosacea: The skin is thick and has a poor texture.

 

4) Eye rosacea: Red and irritated eyes, eyelids may be swollen and the person may have what looks like an eye.

 

Over time, people who have rosacea often see permanent redness in the center of their face.
