What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects many Americans. It can result in the development of redness, typically seen on the face. There are several subtypes of rosacea which include:- Facial redness (erythematotelangiectatic rosacea)
- Bumps and pimples (papulopustular rosacea)
- Skin thickening (phymatous rosacea)
- Eye irritation (ocular rosacea)
Who is at a risk for developing rosacea?
The condition is often seen in patients older than thirty. It can affect patients of all ethnicities, but those who have fair skin are more likely to experience this disorder. It is important to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and to get a diagnosis advice on treatment options.
Rosacea treatment
Most patients who are diagnosed with rosacea will work with a board certified dermatologists to find effective treatment solutions. There are so many ways in which rosacea can be treated, and it varies, depending on the subtype and the severity. Methods of treatment may include oral or topical medications that are prescribed by a doctor for routine use. Intense pulsed light treatments, laser therapies, and other devices can be used to reduce or eliminate the visible blood vessels of the skin for more effective, long-term results. For patients who have ocular rosacea, oral antibiotics or prescription drops may be recommended.Laser treatment explained
