Rosacea, a skin condition that causes the skin to look red and inflamed, is commonly presented across the nose and cheeks. The condition may produce swollen blood vessels and red bumps that appear like acne. It can frequently be mistaken for other skin ailments, but it can be treated if diagnosed properly. Your Family Medical Clinic utilizes several innovative solutions to lighten skin and manage the symptoms of this chronic ailment. When left untreated, it may worsen over the years, causing symptoms to return and flare up for days or weeks. Our providers are experts in skin health and can create a personalized treatment plan to help keep your rosacea symptoms at bay.
While the exact cause of the condition is unknown, it is likely caused by a combination of environmental and hereditary factors. People of Celtic or Scandinavian ancestry seem to have a higher prevalence of rosacea. The condition tends to flare up due to outside factors that increase blood flow to the surface of the skin, including spicy foods, alcohol, hot drinks, sunlight, extreme temperatures, hot showers, stress, and certain medications. During an appointment at Your Family Medical Clinic, your provider will assess your skin and recommend appropriate treatment options. We often utilize topical anti-inflammatory creams, oral antibiotics, and oral acne medications. Your treatment plan will be custom-tailored to you based on your skin type and severity of rosacea.
Rosacea not only creates physical symptoms, but it can lead to emotional stress, too. If you feel embarrassed about skin redness, contact the professionals at Your Family Medical Clinic to receive a diagnosis for your skin condition. Let us help you put your best face forward. Our skilled team is knowledgeable about innovative remedies and can offer hope and help for rosacea.
