Rosacea’s are small, red, pus-filled bumps on the skin that are present during flare-ups.

Typically, rosacea affects only skin on your nose, cheeks, and forehead.

Four types of rosacea

Subtype one, known as erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR), is associated with facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels.

Subtype two, papulopustular (or acne) rosacea, is associated with acne-like breakouts, and often affects middle-aged women.

Subtype three, known as rhinophyma, is a rare form associated with thickening of the skin on your nose. It usually affects men and is often accompanied by another subtype of rosacea.

Subtype four is known as ocular rosacea, and its symptoms are centered on the eye area.
