Occasionally the eyes can be affected, known as ocular rosacea, leading to chronic conjunctivitis type redness, itchiness and dryness. - Enlarged nose
The skin becomes thicken over time due to rosacea, especially in the nasal area, leading to a condition called rhinophyma.

Telangiectasias are better known as facial veins, these vascular lesions generally develop on the face. You can recognise telangiectasia by the fine, red blood vessels that form on your nose or face. They are common benign broken or dilated blood vessels.
Spider veins appear as thin lines, webs, or branches snaking along your legs. These lesions are blue, purple, or red in colour.
