Symptoms:
Signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of your condition:

• A red face due to persistent redness and/or prominent blood vessels
• Red papules and pustules on the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin
• Dry and flaky facial skin
• Aggravation by sun exposure and hot and spicy food or drink (anything that reddens the face)
• Burning and stinging, especially in reaction to make-up, sunscreens and other facial creams
• Many people with rosacea also experience dry, irritated, swollen eyes and red, swollen eyelids.
• Enlarged nose: Over time, rosacea can thicken the skin on the nose, causing the nose to appear bulbous (rhinophyma). This occurs more often in men than in women.
