A chronic yet routine skin condition in people over the age of 30, rosacea generally manifests itself as the extreme visibility of red blood vessels in your cheeks, nose, and forehead. It often appears in flare-ups lasting for several weeks or even months, only to then temporarily disappear into remission. Unless you have it treated, it will continue to recur. The disease can sometimes lead to a swelling of your nose known as rhinophyma. For many patients, watery and bloodshot eyes due to ocular rosace are another unfortunate result and can lead to both burning and soreness.
