Understanding Rosacea

Primary Signs of Rosacea

• Flushing

  Many people with rosacea have a history of frequent blushing or flushing. This facial redness may come and go, and is often the earliest sign of the disorder.

• Persistent Redness

  Persistent facial redness is the most common individual sign of rosacea, and may resemble a blush or sunburn that does not go away.

• Bumps and Pimples

  Small red solid bumps or pus-filled pimples often develop. While these may resemble acne, blackheads are absent and burning or stinging may occur.

• Visible Blood Vessels

  In many people with rosacea, small blood vessels become visible on the skin.
