Rosacea can affect people of all ages, and people with fair-skin tend to be more at risk. The condition appears as redness, pimples, and broken blood vessels. It is characterised by flushing, red bumps, dilated, visible capillaries and oily, acne-prone areas.

Doctors do not know the exact cause of rosacea, but believe that the condition may be hereditary. Some researchers believe that rosacea is a disorder where blood vessels dilate too easily, resulting in flushing and redness. Consequently it is believed that people who blush frequently may be more likely to develop rosacea.
