Rosacea

Rosacea is a common condition clinically characterized by facial redness, often affecting the central face, cheeks, nose and forehead. It can be composed merely of dilated blood vessels (telangiectasias) with associated redness (erythema) or can have acne-like lesions with it also. It commonly occurs in fairer skin types. Severity can vary and treatment options include sunscreen, various topical creams, and oral medication. The eyes can also be affected.
