What is the difference between rosacea and blushing?
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by blemished skin. It is also characterized with constant redness around the cheeks. See Dr. Nase’s web site on Rosacea click here. Sympathetically induced blushing is characterized by facial redness initiated during certain social or functional situations. This is indicated by short bursts of facial redness that happen in conditions that otherwise will not cause facial redness. Usually it starts after puberty (20 – 30 years of age).
