What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face. It's characterized by redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps.

What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Symptoms can vary but often include facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels (telangiectasias), small, red, pus-filled bumps (papules and pustules), and a burning or stinging sensation on the face. In some cases, the eyes may also be affected (ocular rosacea).

How is rosacea treated?

There's no cure for rosacea, but treatment can help manage symptoms. It may involve topical medications (creams, gels), oral medications, laser therapy, or other therapies.
