What skin condition is identified by its association with extreme temperatures and sun exposure?

Acne
Psoriasis
Eczema
Rosacea

The correct answer is: Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that is particularly characterized by facial redness, flushing, and the presence of visible blood vessels. It often flares up in response to environmental factors such as extreme temperatures—both hot and cold—as well as intense sun exposure. This sensitivity to temperature and UV light is a defining characteristic of rosacea, making it more susceptible to triggers that can exacerbate the condition. In contrast, while conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema can also be influenced by environmental factors, they do not specifically emphasize extreme temperatures or sun exposure as significant exacerbating factors in the same manner as rosacea does. Acne is generally related to clogged pores and hormonal fluctuations, psoriasis is primarily an autoimmune condition rather than one directly triggered by temperature, and eczema tends to be associated with allergens and irritants rather than just environmental temperature extremes and sun exposure. Therefore, rosacea stands out as the correct choice regarding the specified skin condition linked with these particular triggers.
