Rosacea Treatments at CareLife Medical

.

Your skin is your covering letter, and, understandably, you care about its health and appearance. This concern is even more frequent when it involves your facial skin, which is often associated with rosacea, a chronic condition that affects an estimated 16 million Americans. The warning sign is that many patients ignore this illness until its symptoms worsen, and it becomes a visible change in their skin.

At CareLife Medical, we offer a comprehensive range of rosacea treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve the appearance of your facial skin. No more redness with personalized care, supportive procedures, and a team focused on helping you to regain your healthy complexion.

All About Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic condition that affects your skin with flare-ups and remissions, mostly on the central face. This disorder is more frequent in women, but when it impacts a man, it tends to be more severe. Although rosacea symptoms can vary, they usually begin and evolve in visible blood vessels, a burning sensation, and inflammation in specified areas of skin. Often, your nose can also develop a thicker appearance. 

There are different subtypes; therefore, rosacea treatment must adapt to the specific patient’s needs. However, there are two symptoms always present in the cases; let’s explore them.

Persistent Redness

Persistent facial redness is the most common individual sign of rosacea; it can seem like a blush or sunburn that stays in your facial skin and just doesn’t go away.

Skin Thickening

The skin may thicken and develop excess tissue, most commonly on the nose. This condition is not usual, but when a patient suffers from it, it can lead to facial disfigurement.

Other changes can be present and help to determine the condition; consequently, patients who experience two or more of the following signs have a secure rosacea diagnosis. These signs are flushing, bumps and pimples, visible blood vessels, or eye irritation. As a patient, if you are experiencing some of these symptoms, you may seek medical help. 

What Causes Rosacea and Common Triggers

The exact causes of rosacea are unknown; it is thought to be the result of genetic factors or immunological and environmental responses that are also involved. Some factors that can trigger or worsen the symptoms include:

  • Drastic temperature changes with sun exposure
  • Emotional stress 
  • Alcohol consumption or spicy food 
  • Irritating products used on the skin

Identifying and controlling these factors is a key step for the patients to avoid sprouts and improve their quality of life.  

Why You Must Treat Rosacea?

Not treating the rosacea can trigger worse symptoms or make the rash outbreaks more frequent. Besides the visible effects, rosacea can produce physical discomfort or complaints such as burning or itching sensations, and become an obstacle to patients’ emotional wellness. However, with early treatment, the patient can reduce the inflammation, prevent permanent damage to the skin, and improve the facial appearance.
