Simply put Rosacea is a chronic redness of the skin that occurs most
commonly on the face. If left untreated the redness can become persistent
and develop into full blown Rosacea. Acute cases of Rosacea can be
threatening to your health by growing into red raw-looking lumps of
extra tissue on the skin. Rosacea can affect anyone, however people
with fair skin who blush easily are at greater risk. A variety of
medical therapies are available to control Rosacea and alleviate the
redness. Dr Armogan uses a number of treatments available and may
in fact suggest a combination treatment customized for your condition.
If you experience intermittent redness of skin you may be at risk
for Rosacea as this can be one of the earliest signs of the disorder.
Persistent and stubborn redness is another sign of early stages of
Rosacea. Also, visible capillaries, specifically on or around the
nose area are a very common early warning sign in Rosacea patients.
In more advanced cases of Rosacea, persistent eye irritation can occur
as well as burning or stinging sensations in the affected area. Another
sign of advanced Rosacea is skin dryness and formation of plaques
on the skin. This can lead to thickened skin in more advanced cases
of Rosacea. Lasers and intense pulsed light sources are the most advanced
and very effective method of improving Rosacea. These modalities work
by gently vaporizing and destroying the vessels that are responsible
for formation of Rosacea.
