Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic Skin disease of the face in which the Blood Vessels enlarge, giving the cheeks and nose a flushed appearance (especially after periods of physical exertion). Rosacea appears to occur most often in fair-skinned people of northern and eastern European descent, particularly Celtic, English, and Scottish.  It often affects multiple members of the same family, presumably because of their similar complexions and genetic heritage. It is characterized by papular and pustular Acne, red appearance of the face and nodular swelling of the Nose (known medically as Rhinophyma). Rosacea is most prevalent in women over the age of thirty.
