I have rosacea. It is commonly caused by a stomach bacteria which stimulates blood vessels and stuff in my face to make it red. I have been getting it treated, and its going quite nicely. One option I have considered was a laser treatment which will sever some of the vessels that cause the redness. $150 a treatment for it is a little steep, but my parents said they would be willing to do it.
*edit*
Oh, and I have long eyelashes because I used to pull on them when I was a little kid. Dunno if that is why, but that is always my explanation.
