Can Redness On The Upper Chest Be Caused Due To Rosacea?

Just a curiosity really. Have had redness on my upper chest - no rash, no pain, no itching - blanchable. Do get bumps from time to time. It s been quite a while, and no other side effects and no improvement with moisturizers, etc. Do have allergies and have had episodes of ezcema, but it doesn t feel like that. My aunt has issues with rosacea. Is it possible to have rosacea on the chest, but not on the face as much? Of Swedish descent.

It is possible but rare to have rosacea on chest in absence of facial lesions. In addition you do not have any itching or irritability. you can keep the site protected from sunlight and apply a bland ointment like white vaseline
