What is it?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that typically causes redness or a rash. It's often seen in adults in their middle age or older, especially those with light complexions. Be cautious, as rosacea can sometimes be misdiagnosed as acne, an allergic response or eczema due to their similar appearance.

The signs of rosacea usually present as small, red, pus-filled bumps on the cheeks, nose, forehead and occasionally around the eyes. Other symptoms can include swelling of the face, dry and flaky skin, visibly broken blood vessels, an enlarged nose and persistent skin redness.

Rosacea is among the more common skin conditions that our board-certified dermatologists Beavercreek Dermatology frequently diagnose and treat.
