Rosacea is a chronic, progressive skin condition that most commonly manifests as redness and irritation on the face, most commonly affecting the cheeks, nose, and chin. Rosacea symptoms can range from mild redness to more severe lesions, such as inflamed pimples, and in some cases, visible capillaries on the skin. The condition most often appears in adulthood, usually after the age of thirty, and can worsen over time if left untreated. Rosacea tends to worsen under certain conditions, including sun exposure, stress, certain foods and drinks, and changes in temperature.
There are different types of rosacea, including erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, and phymatous rosacea, each with its own set of symptoms. Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea causes facial redness and visible blood vessels, while papulopustular rosacea can cause inflammatory, pimple-like bumps. Phymatous rosacea, which is the most severe, leads to thickening of the skin, especially on the nose, and can cause a serious cosmetic problem.
Rosacea treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach and includes the use of topical and oral medications, as well as the use of certain cosmetic treatments that can reduce symptoms and prevent exacerbations. Topical treatments usually include creams that reduce inflammation, and for more severe forms, oral antibiotics or medications that reduce inflammation and dilated blood vessels may be used. Laser treatments and IPL (intense pulsed light) are often very effective in treating rosacea because they help reduce redness and visible capillaries, and repair damaged skin. These treatments are safe to perform in the hands of professionals and usually require several sessions to achieve optimal results.
Rosacea requires long-term care, and patients are advised to regularly use mild cosmetics, avoid triggers such as extreme temperatures, spicy foods and alcohol, and use high SPF sunscreens. Given that rosacea is a chronic disease, it is important to start treatment in a timely manner in order to control symptoms and reduce long-term health and aesthetic problems.
