Rosacea

Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, bumps, pimples, and other symptoms. It is a form of acne that most often affects people between the ages of 30 and 60. It’s more common in women but often more severe in men. Rosacea usually affects the face, though it can also affect the neck and upper chest. It may get worse over time, but in many people it occurs in cycles, getting better and worse on its own.
