What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a common, long-term skin condition that mainly affects your face. It causes the skin to
redden, or blush, and it can feel hot and painful too. You might also be more sensitive to cosmetic
products or even when using water on your face. You’re more likely to have rosacea if you’re female
and have fair skin but the condition can also affect men, whose symptoms can be worse.

Rosacea can cause broken blood vessels to appear on your skin, and you may have pinkish spots,
sometimes pus-filled, on your face. Other signs of rosacea include dry, thickened, or swollen skin. It
can affect the area around the eyes, which become light-sensitive.
