Rosacea can be a challenging skin condition to manage and can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. The persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels on the face can lead to feelings of self-consciousness and reduced self-esteem. The accompanying discomfort of itching, burning, and eye irritation can further disrupt daily activities.

Rosacea often begins with a tendency to blush or flush more easily than other people.
This redness can slowly spread from the nose and cheeks to the forehead and chin; at times this redness can spread to the ears, chest, and back can be red all the time. However, rosacea can cause more than just persistent redness, in fact there are 4 common subtypes of Rosacea
