Health Conditions

Subtype I ? Persistent Redness (Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea)

In this most common form of rosacea, the face is easily irritated and the affected individual may appear to be blushing for prolonged periods of time. Persistent redness (flushing) may affect any part of the face, but it generally occurs on the central areas (nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin). Frequently, tiny widened or broken blood vessels (known as telangiectasia ? tel-AN-je-ek-tay-ze-ah) can be seen under the skin.
