Acné rosácea
Es una afección crónica de la piel que consiste en la inflamación de las mejillas, la nariz, la barbilla, la frente o los párpados, y que puede aparecer como enrojecimiento, vasos sanguíneos prominentes similares a una araña, inflamación o erupciones en la piel parecidas al acné.
Aunque la causa de la rosácea se desconoce, usted tiene mayor probabilidad de sufrir este inofensivo trastorno de la piel si:
La rosácea involucra hinchazón de los vasos sanguíneos justo debajo de la piel y puede estar asociada con otros trastornos cutáneos (acné vulgar, seborrea), o con trastornos oculares (blefaritis, queratitis).
