Managing Embarrassing Facial Flushing & Redness

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha), is a common inflammatory skin condition that usually only affects the face and eyes. Characterized by redness, pimples, and broken blood vessels, Rosacea is more common in fair-skinned people. It is often mistaken for adult acne.

Common Rosacea Symptoms: Rosacea causes a range of symptoms that
may include

Redness,
Uncontrollable blushing
Swelling
Visible blood vessels
Bumps or pimple-like blemishes
Skin thickening and enlargement of the nose (mostly in men)

People who have Rosacea usually experience periods of flare-ups and periods of remission (the decrease or disappearance of symptoms). There is often a "butterfly" pattern that is detectable on the face.
Although Rosacea is not life threatening, even mild symptoms can have a negative effect on quality of life. In recent surveys by the National Rosacea Society, nearly
70% of Rosacea patients said this condition had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem, and 41% said it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements.

There is no cure, but medical care is available to treat this inflammatory disorder, and help you get your life back to normal. Dr. Rothfeld has established a successful Rosacea management program which incorporates all the reco-gnized methods of effectively controlling and lessening symptoms. More difficult Acne Rosacea may be treated through PhotoDynamic Therapy
