Rosacea

Rosacea

A chronic skin condition causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps, primarily on the face.

Rosacea is a common facial skin disorder that tends to affect fair-skinned individuals and worsens without treatment. Topical metronidazole, azelaic acid, and ivermectin are effective for papulopustular rosacea; laser therapy addresses vascular components.
