Rosacea

September 2, 2015
Sometimes known as “adult acne,” rosacea is a chronic skin disease that causes redness, bumps or pimples and soreness on the face. In many cases, it may closely resemble acne. Rosacea is most common in people with fair skin with a history of blushing, and appears to run in families. Certain foods and alcohol, exposure to sun and wind or changes in weather can trigger rosacea flare-ups. While there is no known cure for rosacea, the symptoms can be managed. Avoiding exposure to the sun and activity in hot weather can help sufferers minimize symptoms, as can limiting stress, spicy food, alcohol and hot beverages. Laser treatments, topical and systemic medications are the primary method of treating rosacea. These treatments can reduce the redness associated with the condition and improve a patient’s overall appearance. Your doctor at Dermatology Consultants can determine what treatment is best for you.
