What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a fairly common skin condition that causes redness of the face, often associated with easy blushing or flushing. It can also cause pimple-like breakouts. The redness can slowly spread beyond the nose and cheeks to the chin and forehead. For some people, even their ears, back, and chest can be red all of the time. For others, permanent redness is visible in the center of the face.

What are the causes?

There are likely many causes for rosacea including genetics, fair-skin, and sun exposure. Individuals can have many different triggers that can be food-related and environmental. The skin experts at Skin Wellness Center can help you identify and avoid such triggers.

What are the symptoms?

There is no true cure for this condition, but treatments can help to control and reduce the following signs and symptoms:

  • Facial redness, including small blood vessels on the nose and cheeks
  • Easy flushing or blushing
  • Pimple-like breakouts on the face
  • Eye symptoms, including burning, itchiness, dryness, and light sensitivity

How is rosacea treated?

Medicine (topical or oral) can help to reduce the signs of rosacea, and changes to your daily routine can prevent new flare-ups. Lifestyle modifications are extremely important, as is discovering the triggers that affect you. At Skin Wellness Center, we also provide photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat rosacea. PDT uses light therapy to act against inflammatory rosacea. Not only does the treatment target diseased skin cells, but it can also make your skin healthier, smoother, and clearer.* To learn more about photodynamic therapy, click here.
