Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face. The traits of this condition—redness of the face, red nose, flushed cheeks, and small red or pus-filled bumps—are frequently mistaken for acne. Rosacea is occasionally referred to as adult acne or acne rosacea, but in reality, rosacea has little to do with the pimples and blackheads that so commonly affect teens. Rosacea can either be a progressive condition or, more commonly, a cystic condition. Having cystic rosacea means that it will affect you for a period of time, lessen in intensity, and then flare up again. To learn more about rosacea red my article How to Get Rid of Rosacea.
