ROSACEA

TREATMENTS FOR REDNESS AND BREAKOUTS

Rosacea is a common skin disease that causes redness and red pimple-like breakouts on the face. It begins with a tendency toward “flushing and blushing” and may then progress to a persistent redness of the central face.

Over time, small blood vessels and tiny pimples appear with rosacea, but there are no black or whiteheads (open or closed comedones). Rosacea is most common in fair-skinned adults between the ages of 30 and 50. Triggers include hot drinks, spicy food, caffeine, alcohol, extreme temperatures, alcohol-based skin products, and sunlight.

Treatment of rosacea includes a variety of topical medications, washes, and antibiotics. Laser therapy, called pulsed dye laser (PDL) can effectively treat telangiectasias and intense pulsed light (IPL) can reduce redness.
