rosacea

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pimples on the face, especially the cheeks, nose, and forehead. It often appears gradually and can flare up with triggers like sun exposure, stress, hot drinks, or alcohol. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but it involves inflammation and possibly blood vessel abnormalities. While it primarily affects adults, it's not contagious. Management includes avoiding triggers, gentle skin care, and sometimes medications to reduce inflammation and redness. Proper care can help control symptoms and improve skin appearance.
