Rules of Rosacea

April 5, 2017

Sixteen million Americans have rosacea, according to the National Rosacea Society. Rosacea most often appears on the face and produces redness on the cheeks, nose or forehead. Fair-skinned individuals are at the most risk to develop rosacea, although it can affect all skin types. A history of frequent blushing is also observed in many rosacea patients. It is most often known to start flaring up after age thirty.

Rosacea’s appearance varies in each individual. Signs include flushing, persistent redness, bumps/pimples and visible blood vessels. Redness can appear more persistent over time. In more severe cases, rhinophyma can cause the nose to become swollen and bumpy.

There are medicinal therapies to manage the symptoms of rosacea. Because rosacea varies between each individuals, it is important to see a dermatologist for the appropriate treatment for your skin. Call (865)690-9467 to schedule your appointment if you need treatment or suspect you have rosacea.
