Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder that usually starts after the age of 30. It can cause symptoms including:
If you suffer from rosacea, you’ll always have at least one of the above signs — usually, the flushed face. When you’re going through a flare-up, you may have additional symptoms along with an increase in your primary symptoms.
Usually, you’ll just need a skin exam, coupled with a description of any other symptoms that your doctor can’t see visually. For example, if your face is only slightly flushed right now but you had intense flushing, bumps, and a burning sensation until a few days ago, it’s important to detail these symptoms with your doctor so they can make an accurate diagnosis.
In some cases, particularly if you’ve got possible signs of other skin conditions, you may also need a skin biopsy. Your dermatologist can do the biopsy on-site if needed, and it’s a simple easy process. Usually, your dermatologist can diagnose rosacea and start your treatment the same day.
There’s no cure, but it’s very possible to achieve remission with your dermatologist’s guidance and support. Your dermatologist at Palm Beach Dermatology Group manages your current flare-up and then helps you maintain the remission. Some treatments can include:
Another important part of your remission is avoiding the things that cause your flare-ups, something your dermatologist will help you discover.
Rosacea triggers are typically fairly easy to recognize because most sufferers have common triggers. These may include:
You may also have other triggers. Once you’ve tracked your rosacea flare-ups for a while, you’ll know what to avoid. Your dermatologist can suggest changes if you’re not sure how to minimize your triggers.
