Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It can cause flushing, persistent redness, visible dilated blood vessels and, for some people, bumps or pimples, or a stinging sensation. In some people rosacea also affects the eyes, causing dry, burning or red eyes. It can look different across skin tones. A healthcare professional can help with diagnosis and treatment; makeup can change the appearance of redness but does not treat rosacea.
Redness after pregnancy
If you notice new or persistent facial redness after pregnancy, a doctor or dermatologist can help identify the cause. Redness alone does not necessarily mean you have rosacea.
