Rosacea Characteristics and Symptoms
Rosacea appears most commonly on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, but can also appear on the scalp, ears, and neck.
The face is red and the skin burns. Hot flashes appear, capillaries are visible under the skin due to dilation of the blood vessels. Red pustules appear and the skin thickens. The eyes become red and inflamed.
The National Rosacea Society of the United States of America has distinguished four types of facial rosacea based on the symptoms:
-
Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea : persistent facial redness, broken capillaries, dry, swollen skin.
-
Papulopustular rosacea : persistent skin redness with raised papules and purulent pustules
-
Phymatous rosacea : usually an advanced stage of the disease, the skin, especially on the nose and chin, appears red and hardened.
-
Ocular rosacea : the eye area is also affected by inflammation. The area around the eyes and the eyelids appear red and dry, with burning and swelling, sensitivity to light and accentuated tearing.
