Constant Redness, a Rosacea Symptom?

For some reason my skin is constantly red. its not terribly red, its just like I have a tint. Its almost as if I'm always a little sunburned, I have pretty fair skin I suppose, but even during the winter I was just as red.

Its also not a solid red, when I apply pressure and release, my skin flashes white and then fades back into red in a second or so, kind of like when you have sunburn. Could this be rosacea? or is this something else? Thanks!

Constant redness - a rosacea symptom

Sounds like Rosacea to me.  Most individuals with facial redness also have individual superficial blood vessels (telangiectasias).  If you dislike the redness, certain vascular laser/light devices including the pulsed-dye laser (v-beam), Nd:YAG laser and IPL/fotofacial can help. Good luck.
