Rosacea is a condition primarily defined by a flushed look to the skin. It sounds like you just have dry skin...or maybe eczema...are you using any moisturizers or harsh cleansers?

I am using sage....and it just started after i started using sage..but again it could be the accutane as well..just a thick bunch of skin ..i dont know what it is..can you get exzema???..on your face just like that....great...compound my probs more..haha..

Its generally not a good idea to use anything the could potentially irritate your skin while on accutane. Try not using the sage for a couple of days and see what happens...

not to get off your subject, but I developed a slight case of eczema on the knuckles of my hands.

Currently on accutane right now, but I don't know my blood type :P
