Rosacea: Your Self-Help Guide

Rosacea, also called adult acne or acne rosacea, is a facial skin condition marked by a recurring redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. Left untreated, the redness becomes more permanent, and, in advanced cases, the nose may become bumpy, red, and swollen from excess tissue. In some cases the eyes also may be affected, and the condition can result in vision loss.
