Red Nose From Rosacea

Rosacea causes redness and bumps all over the face, but when the nose becomes red with bumps, rosacea is advanced, possibly from lack of treatment. This is more common in men than women, and genetics do play a role. Treatments at this stage can include laser resurfacing to remove layers of the skin, and dermabrasion to smooth the nose’s rough bumps.
