Rosacea is a common condition, affecting about 1-20% of the population. However, people often get the wrong diagnosis when they have rosacea, so the true frequency may be much higher.&nbsp;

What-is-rosacea_0_2

Rosacea, also called acne rosacea, is a non-contagious inflammation of the skin that affects the face exclusively. The small superficial blood vessels (capillaries) of the skin expand, creating the appearance of constant redness. Yellow pimples may appear on the forehead, cheeks and chin.&nbsp;

What-is-rosacea_0_3

Unlike acne, rosacea does not leave scars. The condition first appeared between the ages of 30 and 50. Frequent redness or blushing is usually the first sign. Over time, constant redness (erythema) may develop, as the capillaries enlarge and pustules begin to form. In men, severe rosacea can cause redness and enlargement of the nose.
