Rosacea is a common, long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes redness and bumps, most often on the nose, cheeks and forehead.
What is it?
Rosacea is one of the more prevalent conditions treated by our board-certified professionals at Midwest Dermatology. It is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that often results in red skin or a rash. This condition is mostly seen in adults of middle age or older, especially those with light skin color. Due to their similar symptoms, rosacea can sometimes be misdiagnosed as acne, an allergy or eczema.
Rosacea manifests as tiny, red, pus-filled bumps predominantly on the cheeks, nose, forehead and occasionally the eyes. Symptoms of rosacea can include swelling of the face, dry and flaky skin, visibly broken blood vessels, an enlarged nose and consistent skin redness. Although rosacea is chronic, our team can help improve symptoms and advise you on ways to avoid flare-ups.
How is it treated?
While there isn't a total cure for rosacea, our team can develop a treatment strategy to manage your symptoms. Approaches like topical treatments, oral antibiotics, light therapy and laser therapy can significantly relieve discomfort and reduce visible symptoms of rosacea. Additionally, our team will help you discover the specific causes of your rosacea outbreaks. Understanding these triggers can significantly decrease the occurrence and intensity of your symptoms.
