Skin rashes and redness may be a sign of a variety of issues. Dermatologists deal with several skin concerns each and every day. Bumps, redness, and itching skin are common issues that bring patients to see a professional to find a solution to their problem. However, the problem may not be as obvious as patients may think. This is especially true in the case of rosacea. Rosacea is a skin condition that many patients deal with, but it is something that should not be misdiagnosed. There are several conditions that can mimic the signs and symptoms of rosacea which is why, even if a patient thinks he or she has it, they should seek a proper diagnosis from a dermatological professional. Patients located around the Plano, TX area are encouraged to seek assistance from the team of DSA Dermatology where Drs. Daniel Achtman and Carmine McConnell can assist.
Drs. Daniel Achtman and Carmine McConnell encourage patients to book a consultation visit and examination with them to find out what skin condition they are dealing with. Some patients may assume their condition is rosacea without having the experience to properly diagnose such a problem. This is where the team of DSA Dermatology comes into play. They can determine whether or not the problem is rosacea and provide an effective treatment based on their findings.
There are many other skin conditions that may present themselves like rosacea without actually being rosacea. These may include:
- Lupus erythematosus
- Perioral dermatitis
- Folliculitis
- Acne vulgaris
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Contact dermatitis
It might also be difficult to diagnose a condition if there is more than one problem occurring at once. This may mean that there are two issues at hand, and the symptoms of one can make it seem impossible to address the other. This is why the assistance of an experienced dermatologist is so important when it comes to addressing skin and body concerns that arise.
Patients in and around the Plano, TX area who believe they may have rosacea should first discuss their concerns with Drs. Daniel Achtman and Carmine McConnell of DSA Dermatology to ensure they are getting a proper diagnosis.
