📋Overview
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting the central face, characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It is a modern term; older or less specific labels like 'acne rosacea' are now encompassed under this diagnosis. Rosacea is distinct from acne vulgaris and other facial dermatoses.
