Rosacea

Rosacea has multiple phases, beginning with flushing of the skin, followed by redness, followed by the development of small blood vessels visible in the skin (telangiectasia). This is the second stage and is exhibited by this individuals' red blisters (erythematous papulopustules) located on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Underlying redness (erythema) and small blood vessels (telangiectasis) are also seen.
