Rosacea (Facial Flushing & Redness)
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that is indicated by facial flushing, visible blood vessels and persistent redness of the face. They are usually more common in people with light skin (skin types I, II, III). It typically starts at the age of 30 and tends to worsen over time. It usually happens in the cheeks, ears, chin, nose, and forehead. Several things can trigger it, such as sun damage, skin tone, and your environment. Other triggers include hot drinks, spicy foods, and alcohol.
