Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that typically affects the nose and cheeks and results in flushed skin and a rash. It might also result in eye issues. People frequently claim that specific conditions, such as spending time in the sun or going through emotional stress, cause the symptoms to flare up and go away. It is more common in women and people with white skin. However, when it occurs in men, symptoms can be worse. It tends to begin between the ages of 30 and 40, but early signs may appear in your 20s.

There is no cure for rosacea, but treatment can keep it under control. The choice of treatment will depend on the symptoms, and usually includes a combination of self-help measures and medications.
