Rosacea

Often known as adult acne, rosacea is a long-term skin disorder of the face. Its hallmark is redness that keeps returning, most often across the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. If it goes unmanaged, that redness can settle into a lasting appearance. In the more severe form, the nose can thicken and swell with extra tissue, becoming bumpy, inflamed and red. The eyes can be involved as well, and in rare cases this involvement can lead to loss of sight.
