Yes, facial redness and flushing are the most common signs of rosacea and usually are the first to develop. As the condition worsens, generalized redness can persist, as well as skin roughness and irritation.

1) Pimples and raised skin patches known as plaques can also develop on the skin in addition to the redness.

2) Rosacea may also cause rhinophyma, an enlargement of the nose causing a large, bulbous, appearance.

3) Ocular rosacea is also. Symptoms of ocular rosacea usually include runny or swollen eyes, bloodshot eyes and stinging.
