What Does Rosacea Look Like?
Rosacea takes on many forms, depending on the person. It terms of what it looks like, rosacea symptoms commonly include:
Redness
Rosacea typically comes in the form of facial redness, which is particularly centered around the nose and mouth. This redness can even take the form of broken blood vessels, which are particularly prominent on the nose and cheeks.
Red, pimple-like bumps
These bumps are commonly mistaken for acne, but they’re typical symptoms associated with rosacea. If you have bumps that don’t seem to subside with acne treatments, you may actually have rosacea.
Enlarged, thickened nose
Over time and without treatment, rosacea can actually cause a thickened, enlarged nose.
