WHAT IS ROSACEA?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease that leaves the skin sensitive, with redness, varicose veins and, in some cases, can cause spots with pus.

It can also occur on the scalp, neck and décolleté,” says IL doctor Vittorio Becharadermatologist member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD) and professor of Cosmiatria and Dermatological Diseases at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).
