Rosacea is a chronic skin inflammation that causes redness and swelling on the face. This condition appears mainly in females between the ages of 30-60 years old. Frequent flushing/blushing and an increase in skin sensitivity are common first signs of rosacea developing. It then progresses to persistent redness in the centre of the face (cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose). It can also spread to the ears, neck, chest, back and your upper limbs. In rare cases it can affect people’s eyes, causing red, sore, and gritty eyes leading to conjunctivitis.
