Rosacea

Rosacea is a common, long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes redness and bumps, most often on the nose, cheeks and forehead.

What is it?

Rosacea, a chronic skin inflammation, typically presents as skin redness or rash. It is particularly prevalent among people with fair complexions and those middle aged or older. To an untrained eye, rosacea can often be misdiagnosed as acne, an allergic reaction or eczema due to the similarity in symptoms.

Rosacea presents itself as tiny, red, pus-filled bumps primarily on the cheeks, nose, forehead and occasionally around the eyes. Symptoms may include facial swelling, dry and flaky skin, visible broken blood vessels, an enlarged nose and persistent redness of the skin.

Rosacea is one of the more common conditions we treat at Clarkston Dermatology.
