Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and swelling of the face that can also occur on the scalp, neck, ears, chest, and back. It has been argued that facial rosacea is a cutaneous vascular disorder; however, researchers have not found any evidence that a vascular dysfunction causes rosacea.
