How does Rosacea cause skin redness?
Rosacea is one of the leading causes of skin redness. It looks like pink or red patches of skin across the face, neck, or chest ranging from blushing level , to bright and hot to the touch While it may look like general “redness” from far away, it’s actually due to very, very small blood vessels close to the skin’s surface. The closer these vessels are to the surface, the more pronounced your rosacea may appear.
It is most common in middle-aged women with light complexions, and can easily be mistaken for acne, scarring, or a natural flush to the cheeks. In more severe cases, small bumps may form on the surface of the affected skin.
Rosacea appears in flare-ups that come and go over time, typically lasting weeks or months. During flare-ups, the affected skin might feel dry or irritated, and requires special care.
