Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness and pimples on your face, especially targeting the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Most call this condition “adult acne” since it looks very similar to acne and temporarily disappears and comes back. However, Rosacea is different from acne because it can cause burning and soreness around the eyes. Rosacea most commonly appears in people who have light or fair skin, but generally is a condition that is passed down in the family. Rosacea often breaks out when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, causing the redness of the face. Common triggers of rosacea include excessive sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, alcohol, and exercise. Exposing your skin to extreme temperature changes can also irritate the condition and trigger Rosacea.
