Noun
Rosacea is a skin condition that causes redness and blushing of the skin. It is also known to cause painful blisters and sores on the nose and around the eyes.
It is a chronic autoimmune condition that is not contagious. The redness caused by Rosacea is due to enlarged blood vessels close to the skin.
People that suffer from Rosacea can go into periods of remission whereby they do not have any symptoms. The condition can flare up by a change in neurovascular or immune system factors.
A range of topical and oral medications may be prescribed to help settle down the flare up and its painful symptoms.
