Rosacea is a common skin condition, usually occurring on the face, which normally affects fair-skinned but may affect all skin types in people aged 40 to 60 years old.
It is more common in women but when affecting men, it may be more severe.
It is a chronic condition, and can persist for a long time and, in any individual, the severity tends to fluctuate.
Rosacea tends to affect the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose, and normally presents by persistent redness caused by dilated blood vessels, small bumps, and pus-filled spots like acne.
In addition, there may also be uncomfortable inflammation of the surface of the eyes and eyelids.
