What Are the Symptoms?

  • Flushing and facial redness that may be intermittent and then become more persistent
  • Dry skin
  • Bumps or pimples on the skin, either small and solid (papules) or pus-filled (pustules).
  • Red lines (telangiectasia) in the face caused by enlarged blood vessels.
  • Stinging or burning sensations -- similar to mild sunburn -- that may be more noticeable when smiling, frowning, or squinting. Application of cleansers, cosmetics, or moisturizers may increase the irritation.
  • Nasal bumps (rhinophyma) or areas of skin thickening
