Rosacea and Redness

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-like bumps. It commonly affects the central part of the face, including the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. Rosacea can flare up for weeks to months and then diminish for a while. It is often mistaken for acne, eczema, or a skin allergy. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Redness can also occur due to various other conditions, such as irritation, allergic reactions, broken capillaries, or general skin sensitivity.
