the central face, across the cheeks, nose or forehead.
Keratosis Rubra Faceii is a skin condition that manifests as red chicken

face. Essentially it is Keratosis Pilaris, but instead of it appearing on the
usual areas associated with KP (upper arms, thighs, and sometimes
buttocks), it manifests on the face.

primarily found on the upper arms or thighs. However, with Keratosis
Pilaris Rubra Faceii, the bumps are nearly identical in appearance to
Rosacea, making a misdiagnosis easily possible. Take a look …
