Understanding rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in your face. It may also produce small, red, pus-filled bumps. These signs and symptoms tend to worsen over time. Rosacea can affect anyone, though it is most common in middle-aged women who have fair skin.
