The Eczema - Rosacea Picture

Nothing in the medical literature links rosacea and eczema. The two diseases may share some symptoms, but also have many differences. Rosacea is more common in fair-skinned individuals and nearly always affects the face only, causing redness, visible blood vessels, bumps and pimples and sometimes swelling of the nose from excess tissue. Eczema is more common in individuals with dry skin and can appear in various areas of the body, producing bumps and pimples, scales, crusts and scabs that can itch or burn.
