rosacea or not?

I have some redness on my cheeks below my eyes that I think is from when I got sunburnt many years ago. I have tried all sorts of creams and gels but nothing seems to make it better. I don't always want to cover it with makeup. Is this classed as rosacea and is there anything I can do about it?

A GP or dermatologist wound need to see you to diagnose if that is roscaea . If so there are some creams which help with redness. intense pulsed light or pulsed dye laser might be needed

Once you have a diagnosis from a clinical professional, then I can recommend pulsed dye laser. But you might want to try some topical creams first.
