Developing a Rosacea Symptom 
Treatment Plan 

Identifying a rosacea symptom list is typically divided into two categories – Primary and Secondary.  Medical experts worldwide agree that rosacea always includes at least one primary symptom, while various secondary signs and symptoms may also occur.

In self-diagnosing a case of rosacea, the following signs and symptoms will guide you in determining whether you have this skin condition:

Primary Signs and Symptoms of Rosacea

Flushing - Many individuals with rosacea have a propensity to frequent flushing and blushing.    This tendency to foster a “red” face often provides an early warning sign of this condition.  This condition may be intermittent in nature.

Persistent “Redness” of the Face - An almost permanent “redness” of the face is a classic sign of rosacea.  This condition resembles a persistent sunburn or blush that doesn’t go away.

Pimples and Bumps - With this skin condition, pus filled pimples or small solid red bumps often develop.  It is often accompanied by a burning or stinging sensation on the skin.   Though this symptom has a strong resemblance to acne, blackheads are not present.  It is this symptom that has spawned the popular term for this condition, rosacea.   

Blood Vessels Become Visible - In a number of rosacea patients, small blood vessels become visible and seem to rise to the skin’s surface.
