Rosacea: a Blushing Matter

March 3, 2015

Rosacea3

With a few more weeks of winter and the recent freeze over, Knoxville can expect to see the flushed faces of people rushing back indoors. But if that flush doesn’t go away even after you regain feeling in your face, you may be experiencing rosacea.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by a constant “blush” on your nose and cheeks. The redness can also extend to your forehead, chin and even your ears and chest. What many people do not realize is that rosacea is more than redness. Some people experience visible blood vessels, swelling or acne-like breakouts, thickening of the skin or irritated, swollen eyes. Although rosacea is long-lasting, it can come and go in flares.

Saying rosacea is common is an understatement. More than 14 million people in the U.S. live with this condition, most of which are women. Also, those of Celtic or Scandinavian ancestry have a higher likelihood. Although it is more common to see the “blush” in those with fair skin, people of all ethnicities can get rosacea.

If you are currently experiencing the symptoms of rosacea, call and schedule an appointment with one of our certified dermatologists. They can determine the best treatment options for your skin.

If you have any questions about rosacea or about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
