Q&A: Mosquito Bite-like Flare-ups & Steroid Treatment
Q. Sometimes my rosacea flare-ups look like mosquito bites and itch. Is this common?
A. A rosacea flare-up is characterized by a more intense outbreak of redness, bumps or pimples. For some sufferers, the bumps caused by rosacea may resemble mosquito bites. For others, these bumps are generally redder in appearance. It is not uncommon for rosacea patients to itch from dry skin, which can be helped by using a moisturizer.
