Well, my mother was told she has rosacea by a dermatologist quite a few years
ago. She has some redness in her cheeks and nose which I think gets a little
more noticeable under certain conditions but to be honest I never noticed it
much before I started having this problem myself. When she developed the problem
it was about 10 years ago and I don't even remember it happening actually. I
don't know if she quite remembers how it was for her when it started, she tells
me she had flushing, warmness, and tight skin but still it wasn't recently.
