Not everyone with rosacea has similar needs. You deserve a doctor who will provide a tailored treatment that is perfect for you. So what options are available to you for the treatment of rosacea?
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a prevalent skin condition that usually affects adults between the ages of 30 and 50. It may resemble acne or manifest as flushed or patchy red skin.
Often, the condition can be very uncomfortable, causing itching, burning, stinging, or sensitivity. Additionally, it may make you feel self-conscious, especially during severe flare-ups.
There are four types of rosacea that affect the skin in various ways. These include:
- Ocular rosacea – redness, swelling, and irritation around the eyes.
- Phymatous rosacea – skin irritation, oil, and bumps around the nose
- Papulopustular rosacea – irritation and redness that resembles acne
- Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea – swelling, redness, and irritation
Top Treatment Options for Rosacea
The good news is that there are effective treatment options available. These depend on your unique needs, including the type of rosacea you have.
To determine a treatment option for you, your doctor will schedule an initial consultation. Treatments might include medication, laser therapy, or a minor surgical procedure called dermabrasion.
Moderate rosacea may respond well to medicated ointment. This prescription medication is applied daily to your skin to reduce the frequency and severity of rosacea flare-ups.
Laser therapy is a series of treatments that use light to reduce visible blood vessels, swelling, and redness caused by rosacea. Most patients experience improvement after the first few treatments.
In severe cases, dermabrasion may be an effective treatment. This minor surgical procedure uses a unique tool to remove the top layers of skin, improving its appearance.
