Rosacea is a common skin condition that is characterized by redness across the face and visible blood vessels. In some cases, rosacea can occur on the chest, back, or neck. It is most common in middle-aged women with light skin. Although there is no cure for this condition, there are treatments that can control any flare ups.
There is no known cause, but there are theories that have been made based on the elements of the disease process. One theory is that this condition may be related to a disorder of the neurovascular or immune system. Studies have also further suggested a genetic connection between rosacea and other health conditions like cancer and cardiovascular or intestinal disease.

No test is used to diagnose Rosacea; instead, doctors use the history of your symptoms and a skin examination to determine your diagnosis. However, there may be tests to rule out other skin conditions that have similar symptoms like Psoriasis, Lupus, or Eczema.
If your eyes are a major concern, your doctor may refer you to an eye specialist as well.
There is no cure to rosacea, but there is treatment that helps with flare-ups and aids in controlling symptoms.
