What is Rosacea ?
Rosacea is characterized by flushing of the facial skin on mainly the cheeks and the forehead. The redness usually lasts for several days or weeks and may even extend to the eyes. Sometimes, after a few weeks, the Rosacea may go into remission on its own. In other cases, Rosacea can be more akin to a chronic disease. Unfortunately, knowledge is limited regarding the origins of Rosacea. However, we do know that common triggers for flare-ups include:
- Alchohol, specially red wine
- Sun exposure
- Foods, especially spicy foods
What are my treatment options?
Although Rosacea origins are not well known, treatment options for Rosacea are plentiful. These treatments include:
- Doxycycline
- Sulfa-based foaming wash

- AFT (IPL) with Vascular filter can be used to treat larger underlying vascular vessels
- Topical or oral anti-inflammatory agents (if the Rosacea is inflammatory and has red papules or pustules)
- Photodynamic therapy can be used to treat stubborn Rosacea
