The second phase is called vascular rosacea. As the skin condition worsens small blood vessels on the nose and cheeks begin to swell and become more noticeable. The skin may also become overly sensitive. The third and last phase is called inflammatory rosacea. In this phase small red bumps or pustules will appear and persist on the skin. They will spread across the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin areas.
