what treatments you've tried before that have or haven't worked. With
this information, we can really customize your treatment plan to you
and only you and ultimately help you break the cycle of rosacea,"

About Rosacea

Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin disease that presents
variable clinical characteristics, of which the most common are
flushing, persistent erythema, and inflammatory lesions. It mainly
affects the central areas of the face, such as the cheeks and nose.
The disease can affect both adult men and women, usually after the
age of 30. Additionally, symptoms such as stinging, burning and
increased sensitivity of the skin are common. The eyes are often
affected, and might present as red, dry or itchy.

Although the cause of the disease is still under debate, various
trigger factors are known, including spicy foods, alcohol, emotional
stress, sun/UV-exposure, hot baths and hot beverages. Demodex,
generally harmless mites, can also be found in the skin in an
elevated quantity in people with rosacea.

Rosacea may worsen over time if left untreated. People that
suspect they suffer from rosacea should visit their dermatologist or
healthcare provider for diagnosis and discuss what treatment is right
for them. Because rosacea is a highly visible disease, it is known to
cause embarrassment and anxiety in some patients, which in turn may
cause frustration and have a negative impact on their social life.
