L71.8: Other rosacea
Your skin has been inflamed for a long time. The precise reason for this is not known. It is thought that too much sunlight, stress, hot drinks or extreme temperature fluctuations contribute to the condition.
The skin is usually red in the middle of the face and swollen in some places. Spots often appear as well. A lot of small, delicate blood vessels are often visible on the parts of the skin affected. The disorder often causes problems with the eyes.
