Facial redness (facial erythema) on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead is called Rosacea. Rosacea commonly affects people with fair skin. It can occur in men and women, most commonly between the ages 30 and 60. It seems to be made worse by sun exposure, the wind, intake of wine, and flushing with embarrassment. Rosacea can also have acne eruptions, and this is referred to as acne rosacea. Men often suffer from rhinophyma, which is the thickening of the skin on the nose making it swollen and bulbous.
