Rosacea

I went to my doc today for a follow up on my meds & mentioned to her how my face is always red. My cheeks only. It looks like a rash. She said that I have a mild case of rosacea. I was pretty surprised. It can be an adult form of acne. I had acne from the age of 10-30. I just have the rash & the visable blood vessels, no acne, but who knows if that will change. I wear contacts & my eyes seem irritated a lot. She prescribed a lotion, that will hopefully help it.
I looked it up online & this is what it said about it.

Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead.
Small visible blood vessels on the face.
Bumps or pimples on the face.
Watery or irritated eyes.
