Rosacea’s red patching can be frustratingly stubborn, recurrently disfiguring your face across the nose and cheeks, and defying any attempt at cover-up makeup. The more than 16 million people in the United States with rosacea regularly suffer from the spreading redness across their faces, often concentrated across the nose and cheeks.
Redness from rosacea can damage your self-esteem, causing your appearance to fall short of your ideal. You may also experience other symptoms during a rosacea flare-up, including feelings of warmth, or lumpiness and bumps on the skin in the affected area.
