Answer 1

You more than likely have Rosacea which is a chronic condition. In most people symptoms come and go in cycles. These flare-ups are common. Although the condition may improve (go into remission) for a while without treatment, it is often followed by a worsening of symptoms (redness, pimples, red lines or nasal bumps) that progresses over time. Rosacea most frequently begins as a flushing or transient redness on the cheeks ("rosy cheeks") or nose, and in some cases the chin or forehead. The face gets red in patches (erythema) that may come and go. Eventually the redness doesn't go away. Tiny visible blood vessels called telangiectasia may also appear on the surface of the skin. Some patients report stinging or burning sensations, including the feeling of dry or tight skin. As rosacea progresses to middle stage, the redness becomes ruddier and more permanent, and usually occupies a larger area of the face. Bumps, pimples and swelling often develop, and noticeable facial pores may appear. Swelling sometimes occurs in the cheek area close to the nose, resulting in a "baggy cheek" appearance. If left untreated, rosacea may advance to a third stage, in which the spread of excess facial tissue called fibroplasia may develop. In its severe form, this may distort facial features. Red bumps bridge across progressively larger areas of the face, and the nose may become swollen, red and bumpy from excess tissue. This condition, called rhinophyma, gave the late comedian W. C. Fields his famous bulbous nose.

Make sure to see a dermatologist since they will give you products that will diminish the effects significantly. I was diagnosed with rosacea as well and for years had no clue that I had it, but through treatment...you would never even know that I had it. Good luck!
