Self diagnosis is a dangerous pastime without all of the information.
This Frequently Asked Questions is a simple guide to rosacea, and a pointer to more information. It should not be used in the place of professional advice from registered practitioners. The most common symptoms include facial redness across the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead, visibly damaged blood vessels and small red inflammatory papules and pustules. Rosacea develops gradually as mild episodes of facial blushing or flushing which, over time, may lead to a permanent red face. Is can be common that Rosacea does not present with blackheads that are seen with Acne Vulgaris.
