Rosacea
Rosy cheeks and blushing are uniquely human reactions, and something we’ve all experienced at some point. Blushing is emotional communication, it’s normal, it’s healthy. Rosacea is not normal. Rosacea is red patches, swollen, bumpy, and inflamed. It tends to develop in mid-life and recurs again and again. Rosacea often leads to thickened skin with prominent pores, and visible blood vessels. Rosacea starts in your genes.
