ROSACEA TREATMENT

Rosacea effects as many as one in ten people in this part of the world and although millions suffer from this disease there is little information about Rosacea - the exact cause is not known nor is there any test to confirm. Advanced Dermatology offers ready-to-use products and clinical treatments. Rosacea usually appears in three stages -

Pre-rosacea. In general, people who are prone to frequent bouts of facial flushing and blushing are placed into this category. Rosacea may begin as a simple tendency to flush or blush easily, then progress to a persistent redness in the central portion of your face, particularly your nose. This redness results from the dilation of blood vessels close to your skin's surface. This phase may sometimes be referred to as pre-rosacea. Vascular rosacea. As signs and symptoms worsen, vascular rosacea may develop — small blood vessels on your nose and cheeks swell and become visible (telangiectasia). Your skin may become overly sensitive. Rosacea may also be accompanied by oily skin and dandruff. Inflammatory rosacea. Small, red bumps or pustules may appear and persist, spreading across your nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. This is sometimes known as inflammatory rosacea.
