What's the difference between normal physiological blushing/flushing and rosacea blushing/flushing?

Hi BBall.  Good question.  One way to distinguish normal flushing from Rosacea is that in many cases, Rosacea is accompanied by small blood vessels visible at the surface of the skin in the cheek area.  Also, the redness associated with Rosacea lasts longer than just blushing.  A flare can last a few days, weeks or even be something that appears red all the time when more advanced.  Hope this helps.To see Los Angeles Rosacea patients treated with pulsed dye lasers, click on the link below.

Rosacea has symptoms and blood vessels, physiological doesn't and has no nodules/ bumps or symptoms typically.  It rarely responds to lasers. Please see a dermatologist they can determine between the two in person.  Best, Dr. Emer.
