Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory condition of the skin that appears on the face. The symptoms vary slightly, but they commonly include redness of the skin and an unevenness caused by tiny pimples and swollen blood vessels. Rosacea tends to flare with certain topical or environmental triggers. These flares can come with burning, stinging and general discomfort. It is very important to treat rosacea early so that it doesn’t worsen, especially if it presents around the eyes.

Results are usually seen immediately.
