The main symptoms of Rosacea include the following:
▪Redness and bleeding of the face, facial redness can quickly become noticeable, especially in the area of the nose, cheeks, forehead and lower jaw. Depending on your skin color, the redness may be slight or more pink or purple in color.
▪Visible veins. small blood vessels in the skin of the nose and cheeks coagulate and dilate. This type is known as vascular or erythematotelangiocathetic Rosacea.
Depending on your skin color, the vasculature may be difficult to see.
Swollen blisters. Many people with Rosacea develop pimple-like bumps on their face.
These blisters are sometimes filled with pus (abscesses). They may also appear on the chest and back.
▪Burning sensation. the skin in the affected area may be warm and tender.
▪Eye problems. Many people with rosacea experience swelling of the eyes and eyelids. This is known as ocular Rosacea.
Eye symptoms may occur after or simultaneously with skin symptoms.
▪Enlarged nose. At the same time, Rosacea can thicken the lid of the nose, causing the nose to appear larger. This condition is also called Rhinophyma.
It is more common in men than in women.
If you have persistent symptoms on your face or eyes, you should contact your doctor immediately.
