Rosacea
What is
Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps. The rosacea definition includes persistent facial redness that can flare up periodically due to various triggers. Although the exact cause remains unknown, early diagnosis and proper rosacea treatment can help manage the condition effectively.
