I think I might have it.....my nose has been bright red for like a week and kinda wierdly pimply....i think its from the sun, but i've always had a reddish nose, its just worsening. this must be a result of those pregnancies, i have neve been this sensitive to the sun before....

i just wanna know is there anything i can use to reduce the redness? like besides makeup.

Rosacea usually also affect the cheeks but I have seen cases when I worked at the derm clinic where only the patient's nose and lower forehead were affected.

Vitamins C, E, and A are great at reducing redness. Heat, wind, sun, and humidity are known to make rosacea worse so definitely make sure you are using a non-comedogenic sunblock to protect sensitive skin.

I have facial redness in my cheeks at ALL times. I just bought a redness reducing face wash and a new skin moisturizer. It's good to know about the vitamins, thanks Kate!

I have rosacea in my cheeks, im always trying to find new face wash's or creams. The best thing I have found is Clinique has a kit for people with rosacea, its a face wash, moisturizer, and primer (for before your foundation, it covers and redness) I really love those products!

My mom has rosacea. Its on her cheeks and nose. It's more of a streaky blood vessely look than anything else.

what you are describing doesn't sound like it. Which is a good thing... because it doesn't go away. There are prescription creams, but my mom just uses clinique concealer.
