Rosacea is an
inflammatory skin condition that may result in a look of flushing, lingering
redness or violet colors, acne-like breakouts, skin-thickening or rough, scaly
skin. There are additional ways rosacea can manifest in the body, and identifying
rosacea can be difficult due to its similarity to acne, allergic reactions, or
eczema.
It is recommended to consult a dermatologist to
obtain a formal diagnosis of the condition.
How is it treated?
There is no
cure for rosacea, but the board-certified specialists at Metrolina Dermatology
are trained in identifying and diagnosing rosacea. Treatments for rosacea aid
in suppressing symptoms and reducing the length of an outbreak.
While avoiding environmental triggers is
important, topical medications, oral antibiotics, light therapy, and laser
therapy may also provide effective relief.
