Signs and Symptoms of rosacea
The signs and symptoms observed may differ in each individual with rosacea. The common feature of rosacea is the intermittent flushing or blushing of the central areas of the face (the cheeks, on and around the nose and below the eyes), which is associated with redness. Itching in these areas is always absent; though stinging type of pain may be felt during the episodes of flushing. Rosacea is a chronic condition, which if left untreated may progress further to cause swelling of the affected areas, conjunctivitis, swelling of the eyelids, scarring of the cornea and a condition known as rhinopyma that affects the nose.^1,2
