Rosacea is a progressive flushing disorder, It can have many causes, like throid problems or menopause or hormones, but it is at its heart a flushing disorder. Sufferers flush profusely from things that do not trigger non rosaceans. Over time, the blood vessels become damaged by the flushing and remain permanently dilated and red and hot and hurting. Breakouts frequently follow. Bright pink cheeks are just that, they go away when the trigger (alcohol, heat, sugar) is removed, and there is no progressive damage (Broken blood vessels, visible permanent red) where there is no tendency towards rosacea.
