Acne Rosacea
Acne rosacea is a bacterial skin condition.
More specifically, acne rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease of the face in which the skin becomes abnormally flushed. At times it may become pustular and there may be associated keratitis (inflammation of the cornea of the eye). This condition occurs in both sexes and at all ages but is most common in women in their thirties.
The cause is unknown.
