What characterizes rosacea?

  1. Chronic inflammatory condition with dilated facial capillaries

  2. A group of boils

  3. Closed comedo

  4. Inflammatory hard lesions deep in the skin

The correct answer is: Chronic inflammatory condition with dilated facial capillaries

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that is characterized by dilated facial capillaries, leading to redness and flushing of the skin. This differs from the other options, as B refers to a group of boils, C refers to closed comedones (whiteheads), and D refers to inflammatory hard lesions deep in the skin. These are not typically associated with rosacea.
