Is this red mark under my sideburns and down my jaw line rosacea? (photos)

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to assess the condition of your skin from images alone. I encourage you to schedule an in-person assessment with a board-certified dermatologist who can examine your skin and make an accurate diagnosis. From there, you should be able to tailor a treatment plan designed specifically for your needs and aesthetic goals. 

Thanks for your question and photos.  You appear to be pretty young, and rosacea tends to be a condition that develops after puberty and is commonly referred to under a category of "adult acneiform conditions".  It is possible you have more prominent blood vessels and capillaries in the lateral face and very fair skin that allows the redness to show through more than people with darker skin.  I would recommend seeing a board certified dermatologist that can help you navigate the condition and make a proper in-person evaluation, rather than recommending treatments or procedures that might not be helpful and just turn out to be expensive.  Definitely make sure your sunscreen is a physical blocker, or mineral sunscreen that doesn't sting or itch, such as zinc or titanium dioxide to help avoid any flushing or blushing or capillary dilation from heat or sun, which might worsen the condition.  See an expert and best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question and photos. There are various causes for redness to the skin, including congenital and rosacea. It is difficult to provide a proper evaluation of your skin through photos, and thus I recommend a consultation by a board certified dermatologist for evaluation and discussion of appropriate treatment. Best of luck.
