Acne rosacea - evolution of rosacea
Early Stage

Middle Stage
- Over time, the redness becomes more pronounced and persistent. Facial skin can also become very dry.
- The significant blood flow that occurs in the small vessels of the face causes them to dilate. Eventually, these vessels may become visible and create thin red lines on the skin, especially on the cheeks. This is called telangiectasia. This phenomenon can be hidden by redness of the skin, but usually red lines become visible when the redness fades.
- Small, red, solid (papules) or filled with pus (pustules) spots that may appear on the face.
- In some people, the eyes may be red, burned and irritated.
Advanced Stage
- The skin inflammation worsens further.
- When is not rosacea, sebaceous glands of the nose may increase in size, forming fleshy protuberances that make it seem larger. This condition, called rhinophyma, is much more common in men than in women. It requires surgical correction.
