Austin Rosacea Dermatology Treatment

Rosacea Basics

Rosacea is a common skin condition which causes the skin to become red and bumpy. It occurs mainly in people of European descent, though all human races are capable of contracting it. It also typically occurs more in women than men.

Skin parts that Rosacea is typically found on are the nose, cheeks forehead and chin. Symptoms include red and irritated skin, puss-filled bumps on skin, visible blood vessels, and occasional itching. Rosacea is sometimes confused with acne.

Rosacea has a number of identified causes, including overexposure to sunlight or heat, stress, alcoholism, spicy foods, heavy exercise, wind, hot weather and many others.

Rosacea Treatment

Treatment options are very similar to that for treating acne. Another way to help alleviate acne is to minimize your exposure to things that may trigger a flare-up. Common ones are the sun, certain skin care products, and alcohol. If you wear make-up, consider using green- or yellow-tinted pre-foundation creams and powders, because they’re designed to counter skin redness.
