Hello,
It sounds like rosacea. Rosacea is a cutaneous disorder primarily of convexities of the central part of the face , such as forehead;cheeks ;nose; and chin. It begins as erythema (flushing and redness) on the central face and across the cheeks, nose, or forehead but can also less commonly affect the neck, chest, ears, and scalp.
Treatment consists of topical or oral antibiotics,isotretinoin, laser treatment and photodynamic therapy. Sunscreens, particularly those that protect against ultraviolet A and B light waves and have a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 13 or higher, are recommended for all people with rosacea.
Hope it helps .Take care and pls do keep us posted in case you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
