What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a very common skin issue that typically causes redness on the face, but it can appear on the body as well. Most often, it shows up on the nose, cheeks, and forehead, but the eyes can be affected, too. The condition tends to start after the age of 30, and because it cannot be cured, it can flare up throughout your lifetime. It’s often caused by enlarged blood vessels.
Beyond redness, rosacea can also look like pus-filled bumps, irritation, swelling, a burning sensation, and visible veins.
While there is no cure for rosacea, there are plenty of treatments to help manage your symptoms and help you have the clearer skin you’re looking for. At Erwin Dermatology, we offer several medical dermatology treatments, including everything from topical creams and gels to oral antibiotics to oral acne drugs. These can all reduce redness and bumps.
At our dermatology office, we also provide light-based therapy and laser treatment. Which one of these treatments is right for you will depend on the severity of your rosacea.
Lifestyle changes can also make a big difference in your rosacea. Regularly wearing sunscreen, being aware of your triggers and avoiding them, and using gentle moisturizers and cleansers can also help you before and during a rosacea flare-up.
Who is a Candidate for Rosacea Treatment Options?
If you are struggling with rosacea and it’s causing your anxiety or embarrassment, you are likely the perfect candidate for rosacea treatment. Good candidates should also experience persistent symptoms and be willing to stick to the treatment instructions given by Dr. Erwin.
During your consultation, Dr. Erwin will look at your skin, listen to your concerns, and answer any questions you have to better determine the right treatment for your needs.
