What is Rosacea?

What are the Symptoms of Rosacea?

The symptoms of rosacea can vary widely and may include:

• Facial Redness: Persistent redness in the central part of the face, especially the nose and cheeks.
• Visible Blood Vessels: Tiny, broken blood vessels (telangiectasia) become visible on the skin.
• Bumps and Pimples: Small, red, pus-filled bumps can develop, often resembling acne.
• Eye Irritation: Eyes can become dry, irritated, and swollen, a condition known as ocular rosacea.
• Skin Thickening: In advanced cases, the skin on the nose may thicken, causing a bulbous appearance (rhinophyma).

What Can I Do to Prevent Flares?

In addition to medical management, our dermatologists can recommend lifestyle changes to help prevent flares. This includes avoiding potential triggers- hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, extreme temperatures and excessive sun exposure. Our dermatologists will also recommend routine use of sunscreen and will provide you with gentle skincare products safe for rosacea prone skin.

How Can I Treat My Rosacea?

Managing rosacea involves a combination of treatments to reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Your dermatologist at Evolve Dermatology might recommend a combination of treatments including prescribed oral or topical medications, clinical grade skincare, laser or light therapy and lifestyle modifications. Although there is no cure for rosacea, early intervention can help to reduce symptoms and to prevent worsening and potential complications of the condition.
