Struggling with redness, flushing or sensitive skin that won't go away?
You may be experiencing rosacea, a common but often misunderstood skin condition.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a facial inflammatory condition that affects women and men of all ethnicities and skin types. Rosacea symptoms may include:
- rapid and prolonged flushing and blushing
- persistent dilated blood vessels
- red papules and pustules, ocular issues and enlargement of oil glands on the nose.
Without the assistance of a board-certified Atlanta dermatologist, the condition can be especially difficult to treat.
The providers at Georgia Skin Specialists can help get rosacea under control with treatments including prescription oral and topical medications, diet and lifestyle recommendations, skin care regimens, and lasers.
What Causes Rosacea?
While we don’t know exactly what causes rosacea, we do know that it is a chronic inflammatory condition that is mediated by the immune system. Rosacea has a genetic component and is most common in adults of Celtic and Scandinavian descent. There are also microorganisms that live on the skin that may contribute to rosacea, and several rosacea treatments target those microbes. There can also be a “skin-gut connection” with rosacea as more patients with rosacea have gastrointestinal conditions including H. pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
What Makes Rosacea Worse?
Rosacea symptoms can flare up or become more noticeable when exposed to certain triggers. While these triggers vary from person to person, some of the most common include:
Exposure
Foods
Beverages
Because rosacea is highly individual, what causes a flare-up for one person may not affect another. That’s why we often recommend keeping a “rosacea diary” to track your daily habits, diet and skincare routine. Over time, this can help you and your dermatologist identify patterns and avoid the triggers that make your symptoms worse.
How is Rosacea Treated?
Managing rosacea requires a personalized approach, as no two patients experience the condition in exactly the same way. At Georgia Skin Specialists, our board-certified dermatologists combine medical expertise with advanced technology to create treatment plans tailored to your unique skin and lifestyle.
Our rosacea treatments may include:
- Prescription oral and topical medications to reduce inflammation and control flare-ups.
- Lifestyle and diet recommendations to help identify and avoid common triggers.
- Gentle skincare regimens designed to calm sensitive skin and protect the skin barrier.
- Cutera excel® V laser therapy to precisely target redness, dilated blood vessels, and other visible signs of rosacea.
We take a whole-body approach to rosacea care, recognizing that this condition can be influenced by genetics, the immune system, and even gut health. By addressing both internal and external factors, we aim to provide lasting relief rather than temporary fixes.
Can Rosacea Be Cured?
Like most chronic inflammatory skin conditions, rosacea cannot be cured but it can be controlled. Depending on the type and severity of your rosacea, your dermatologist will recommend treatments that may include topical medications, oral medications, and lasers.
Are There Skin Care Products for Rosacea?
There are many product lines for rosacea, many of which limit irritants and allergens and include gentle hydrating and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Some rosacea products have a green tint as green neutralizes and reduces the red appearance of the skin. Generally, patients with rosacea can be very sensitive to skin care products, even the gentle ones and should consult with their dermatologist before starting a new skin care regimen. The board-certified dermatologists at Georgia Skin Specialists will create a comprehensive rosacea care plan so you can enjoy healthy, clear and youthful skin.
