What Is Rosacea?
The skin condition known as rosacea causes the skin to appear inflamed and red, and is usually presented around the cheeks and nose. It can frequently be mistaken for other skin conditions but may be treated and managed if diagnosed correctly. Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics in The Woodlands, TX offers numerous advanced solutions, such as laser treatment, to lighten skin and reduce the signs of this chronic disease. Rosacea can occur to almost anyone, but it's widespread among middle-aged to older women with light skin. Although this skin disease has no cure, it can be managed. If left untreated, it can worsen over time, causing symptoms to return and flare up for days or weeks. Dr. Oben Blair Ojong will assess your skin for symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to keep them at bay.
How Can Rosacea Be Managed?
Even though there is no cure for rosacea, many treatment options are available, including antibiotics that can help with inflammation. You can use the medicine in a capsule form or as a cream, gel, or lotion. Pills tend to be more effective in providing rapid results but can cause more side effects. If antibiotics aren't effective, acne drugs have been shown to work for some patients. Surgery may be necessary when symptoms become permanent, such as enlarged blood vessels or inflammation that won't subside with other remedies. Laser procedures or electrosurgery can be chosen to minimize the appearance of blood vessels and get rid of excess tissue buildup across the nose.
What Are the Symptoms of Rosacea?
Symptoms of rosacea can vary from moderate to severe. The standard sign of rosacea is redness of the face. In most patients, the central part of the face is noticeably red. The blood vessels of the cheeks and nose may swell and be visible. Other signs of rosacea include:
- Swollen and red bumps on the face
- Pus-filled lumps
- Skin tenderness
- Skin that is hot to the touch
- Eye problems, such as dryness, irritation, and reddened, swollen eyelids
- Enlarged nose due to skin thickening
