What exactly is Rosacea?

Rosacea is more common than you might think. It is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, thought to be simple acne, or confused with other skin conditions. Because it’s not always identified for what it is, it’s often misunderstood just how common it is. Rosacea usually occurs in white people north western European descent. The condition begins in the form of erythema, which is a flushing and redness along the face and neck, though it can also affect the chest. Over the course of rosacea’s progression, it may develop into semi permanent erythema, dilation of facial blood vessels, small red bumps, and even red gritty eyes, and a burning or stinging sensation.
