Rosacea Diagnosis & Treatment

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness and swelling on the face. It typically affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, and can also cause bumps and pimples. While it is not a life-threatening condition, rosacea can be quite embarrassing and uncomfortable for those who have it.


There is no known cure for rosacea, but it can be managed with the right treatment and skincare routine. Some common treatment options include topical and oral medications, laser and light therapies, and lifestyle changes. It is important to work with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.


If you have rosacea, it is important to protect your skin from triggers that can worsen the condition. These triggers can vary from person to person, but some common ones include exposure to sunlight, hot or cold temperatures, stress, and certain foods and beverages. Avoiding these triggers or taking steps to reduce their impact can help manage your rosacea symptoms.


In addition to seeking medical treatment, there are also a few things you can do at home to help manage your rosacea. These include:

  • Using gentle, non-irritating skincare products
  • Avoiding harsh or abrasive skin care products
  • Applying sunscreen with a high SPF on a daily basis
  • Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air
  • Wearing loose, breathable clothing


If you are living with rosacea, it is important to remember that you are not alone. There are many resources and support groups available to help you manage your condition and feel confident in your skin. Contact us today for an appointment.
