Are There Different Types of Rosacea?
There are four types of rosacea, and your dermatologist should be able to tell you which one you have;
Papulopustular rosacea
Persistent redness with bumps or pimples, raised patches or acne-like breakouts with small puss filled spots.
Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
Facial flushing and persistent redness on the nose cheeks and middle forehead, leading to visible broken veins; sensitive, stinging, swollen or rough scaly skin.
Rhinophyma rosacea
This is a rarer form of rosacea and its symptoms are thickening of the skin, usually around the nose, and bumpy skin texture
Ocular rosacea
Watery, red, irritated eyes; or dry, itchy or sensitive to light, this type of rosacea can lead to sight problems.
