What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, bumps, and other symptoms on the skin. People with rosacea experience frequent bouts of symptoms that interfere with quality of life, but the condition is not necessarily a medical concern.
What Are the Benefits of Rosacea Treatment?
Rosacea cannot be cured, so treatment aims to help people manage their symptoms. This includes methods for reducing the frequency and severity of rosacea break outs. Once you are able to better manage the symptoms, the physical and emotional effects of rosacea are diminished.
How Do I Know If I Have Rosacea?
Signs that you may have rosacea are:
- Chronically red skin
- Bumps that look like acne
- Tiny, visible blood vessels below the skin (spider veins)
- Thickening of the skin
- Localized swelling
- Dryness and rough texture
- Enlarged pores
- Bulbous nose
- Vision problems
- Burning
- Stinging
Your symptoms may linger, or you may experience bouts of the symptoms.
