Rosacea is a chronic skin disease
that causes redness, swelling, and
pimples on the nose, cheek, chin, and
forehead. If untreated, the condition
can worsen. Experts are not sure what
causes rosacea. However, it is known
that flare-ups of symptoms seem to be
caused by triggers, such as exercise,
sun exposure, alcohol, certain foods,
caffeine, hot beverages and even use
of skin care products.

Oral and topical medications can
be prescribed to treat rosacea.
There is no known cures for
rosacea, but with treatment,
symptoms can be controlled and
the disease can be kept from
worsening.
Some of the symptoms of rosacea
can be treated with laser
therapy. Lasers can be effective
in achieving long term results
for redness, dilated blood
vessels, and skin thickening.
Dr. Rose can examine you to
recommend a treatment plan,
which may include one or more of
the available treatments. |
