A couple of months ago I began getting really flushed cheeks near my nose every day. Hot flushes and sweats all done and dusted a couple of years ago so I don't think it's related to that.
I feel quite embarrassed as it looks like I'm blushing all the time. I am fair skinned so it shows up easily.
But now, as well as the cheeks, my eyes are more bloodshot, watery and sore than usual. I do have dry eyes anyway so am used to them feeling a little uncomfortable but never this red and sore. It feels like someone is blowing a hot fan in my eyes all the time.
I've been reading about rosacea but it mentions spots and lumps with the cheek redness which I don't have (yet!).
My question is, does this sound like rosacea to anyone who has experience of it and if yes, should I visit my doctor or my optician?
Thanks
