Rosacea gives dilated blood vessels and inflammation in the skin. The skin is often also infected by bacteria. Most often the face is attacked and especially the convex surfaces of the face. Sometimes also the eyes or other body parts are affected. Rosacea may begin early, but distinct and serious symptoms usually develop as an individual gets older.
WHAT SYMPTOMS ARE SEEN BY ROSACEA
The primary symptoms of rosacea are the following. All the symptoms may not be present always.
– Permanent redness in the skin. This redness can get better or worse periodically.
– Flushing or redness that comes and disappears periodically.
– Telangiectasia – This is a distinct widening of small blood vessels in an area.
– Papules – Small dome-shape spots filled with fluid, often group wise.
– Skin areas with rosasea symptoms often get infected, and the infection worsens the symptoms.
– Pustules or pimples Sometimes infection makes the papules develop into real pimples. However, if the pimples appear in a hair follicle stuffed with sebum (comedones), they are a symptom of acne, and not rosacea....
