What Causes Swelling And Redness On The Face?
Hi, I just got back from my doctor who said that I have rosary (?) - my face is swollen and red - I thought it was an allergic reaction as I had this before but not as severe. Now i tried to read up on rosary but can't find anything about this. Thanks for your help.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may mean rosacea but you can confirm this to your doctor.
This is a chronic skin condition that causes your skin to turn red. It can also be associated with acne in some persons.
There are different possible causes or triggers for the reaction.
It is treated by avoiding triggers and the use of medications.
I hope this helps
