rosacea

In medicine, condition characterized by flushing of the face and the formation of red papules (hard pimples).

Initially, the flushing is exacerbated by sunlight, large meals, or excessive consumption of alcohol. Progress of the disease results in enlargement of the sebaceous glands and the redness becoming permanent. The nose may become very enlarged in severe cases. Rosacea is treated with long courses of tetracycline antibiotics or by the application of metronidazole gel to the face.
