you may have Rosacea
Although the signs of rosacea can be different from one person to the next, rosacea always includes at least one of the following primary signs. Secondary signs and symptoms may also develop in varying combinations.
Primary signs of rosacea
(at least one must be present) Secondary signs of rosacea
(may occur in varying combinations)
Flushing
Many people with rosacea have a history of frequent blushing or flushing. This facial redness may come and go, and is often the earliest sign of the disorder.
Persistent Redness
Persistent facial redness is the most common individual sign of rosacea, and may resemble a blush or sunburn that does not go away.
Bumps and Pimples
Small red solid bumps or pus-filled pimples often develop. While these may resemble acne, blackheads are absent and burning or stinging may occur.
Visible Blood Vessels
In many people with rosacea, small blood vessels become visible on the skin.
Eye Irritation
In many people with rosacea, the eyes may be irritated and appear watery or bloodshot, a condition known as ocular rosacea. The eyelids also may become red and swollen, and styes are common. Severe cases can result in corneal damage and vision loss without medical help.
Burning or Stinging
Burning or stinging sensations may often occur on the face. Itching or a feeling of tightness may also develop.
Dry Appearance
The central facial skin may be rough, and thus appear to be very dry.
Plaques
Raised red patches, known as plaques, may develop without changes in the surrounding skin.
Skin Thickening
The skin may thicken and enlarge from excess tissue, most commonly on the nose. This condition, known as rhinophyma, affects more men than women.
Swelling
Facial swelling, known as edema, may accompany other signs of rosacea or occur independently.
Signs Beyond the Face
Rosacea signs and symptoms may also develop beyond the face, most commonly on the neck, chest, scalp or ears.
Identifying Rosacea Triggers

Food and Drink
