Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial flushing, redness, superficial broken blood vessels, bumps and pimples. The first sign of rosacea may be redness or flushing that comes and goes.
Rosacea is most often seen in fair-skinned people between the ages of 30 and 50 and typically affects the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. It is more common in women but more aggressive in men.
