Rosacea: Signs and Symptoms
Persistent redness and skin thickening are diagnostic signs of rosacea. Natalie Suarez, Physician Assistant with Sunset Dermatology, explains it looks like the patient has a sunburn all the time. It is typically on the cheeks, the nose, and the forehead.
She also says skin thickening is more common in patients who leave rosacea untreated for many years, and the nose becomes very large and glandular. The major signs of rosacea are flushing, bumps and pimples, visible blood vessels, and eye irritation.
