Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
She might be suffering from rosaceae.
It is an inflammatory condition of face,
Mainly affecting the nose and cheek area.
The vessels get dilated and hence face become red.
She needs treatment with topical anti inflammatory like metrogyl cream.
Doxycycline is also helpful.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
