Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes flushing or long-term redness on your face. It also may cause enlarged blood vessels and small, pus-filled bumps. Rosacea can be mistaken for acne, dermatitis, or other skin problems.

If you have ongoing symptoms of the face or eyes, schedule now with Dermatology & Aesthetic Care for a diagnosis and treatment. With our team of experts, you can regain your healthy skin confidence.

While there is no guaranteed way to prevent rosacea, certain lifestyle modifications and skincare practices may help reduce the risk of developing symptoms or minimize their severity. Here are some tips to potentially prevent or manage rosacea:

• Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
• Gentle Skincare Routine: Adopt a gentle skincare routine using mild, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers.
• Temperature Control: Stay cool in warm weather and protect your face from harsh winds in cold weather.
• Dietary Considerations: While there is no specific "rosacea diet," some individuals find that certain foods can trigger their symptoms. Pay attention to your diet and note any patterns in symptom aggravation.
• Avoid Harsh Skincare Procedures: Steer clear of harsh skincare treatments such as chemical peels or abrasive exfoliants, as they may irritate the skin.
• Use Hypoallergenic Products: Choose hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic skincare and makeup products to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
• Consult a Dermatologist: If you notice persistent redness, flushing, or other symptoms suggestive of rosacea, consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.

The treatment of rosacea adopts a comprehensive approach focused on managing symptoms and minimizing flare-ups. Lifestyle changes are fundamental, involving the identification and avoidance of triggers, stress reduction techniques, and consistent sun protection. Establishing a gentle skincare routine with mild cleansers and sunscreen is also key for overall skin health. For cases requiring more targeted intervention, prescription medications are utilized.
