General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Facial redness and flushing can be features of rosacea that need assessment.

A doctor or dermatologist makes the diagnosis through examination and questions.

Also report eye discomfort, burning or a feeling that something is in the eye.

Do not use steroid cream on rosacea, as it can worsen the skin lesions.

Choose gentle skin care and protect your face from sunlight as advised.

Notice whether spicy foods or very hot drinks trigger redness, then avoid the triggers you identify for yourself.
