Rosacea is an autoimmune skin disorder, as a broad spectrum of other human illnesses are also tied to the autoimmune attack on various, systems, organs, and tissues of the body.he symptoms of Rosacea include the following: 1  Red, flushed face. 2  Dry, sensitive skin that may sting or burn. 3  Small bumps. 4  Pimples or breakouts that look more like acne. 5  Thicker and coarser skin with a bumpy feel.
No one is sure exactly what causes the condition but it manifests as reddening and inflammation of the skin around the cheeks, nose and chin. Although rosacea is often successfully treated with antibiotics, no one has yet proven that the condition is caused by bacteria. Experts believe that immune dysfunction, vascular problems and/or environmental factors, including nutrition, could contribute to the condition.
