Rosacea


Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness and pimples on your nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Rosacea often flares when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, which causes redness.

Things that cause a flareup are called triggers. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths.

The symptoms include:
A flushed face and pimples or bumps on or around the cheeks, nose, mouth, and forehead.
Tiny red veins on the face that look like spiderwebs.
Burning or stinging facial skin, especially when they apply lotions or medicines.
Dry, red, irritated eyes.

Medicines and other treatments for rosacea are available in your pharmacy. Talk to your pharamcist for more detail.
