Is this Rosacea? So sore, tight and flaky

[Calypso321]

Hi everyone,

Over the last week or two the skin on my cheeks and chin have become very red and sore, also quite dry and flaky. There’s little bumps on the red bits too. It’s a darker red than the picture shows.

It’s making me so self-conscious, I’m dreading leaving the house for work tomorrow and feel I need a load of makeup to cover it up. But also worried that’ll make it worse!

Does it look like rosacea? Or anything else anyone can think of?

no that's either dermatitis or psoriasis

It looks more like eczema than rosacea to me. Do you have patches elsewhere? Would highly recommend getting some Zeroveen to put on the affected areas.

No just on my face, it’s so strange! I’ll have a look at Zeroveen thank you.

@Calypso321 it looks more like perioral dermatitis. The treatment is similar to rosacea but if you google it or search the boards here you should find some good advice
