Do I have Rosacea Telangiectasia or is it sun damage? (Photo)

I had just started using a light otc Roc retinol for about a week, Porcelena hydroquinone 2% on dark spots, Prosacea for Rosacea on areas with visible blood vessels. I had a bad reaction yesterday, my skin became red a swollen in the areas I treated and the skin is now 24 hrs later is corse and looks as if it needs to peel with continued redness. I'm not sure if I have Rosacea Telangiectasia or if it's just sun damage, I don't have the bumps or pustules that are associated with Rosacea at times.
