Is A Red Rash With Blisters On The Face A Symptom Of Rosacea?

Trying to diagnose a localized facial rash on cheek. Flaring and diminishing over the course of 3 months. never completely goes away. Was diagnosed with roseaca 10 years ago and have been clear with no flares since. This rash is the worse I have ever seen and is not like the roseaca I experienced in the past. Isolated to one side, redness with tiny blister like bumps that appear to be inside the pores of my face. In the shape of a random shape patch (no real edges). Does this sound like roseaca?
