    Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with symptoms of redness, flushing, inflamed bumps, visible blood vessels, eye irritation, and skin thickening in the central regions of the face. Symptoms of rosacea naturally go through periods of improvement and intensification, and may be triggered by lifestyle factors including sunlight, alcohol, emotional stress, and spicy foods.
