Rosacea is a condition that causes redness and dilated blood vessels of the face and in some cases acne-type pimples, enlarged nose, and red, sensitive, or sty-prone eyelids.<\/h2>\n

Although nobody knows the cause of rosacea, the current theory considers it an inflammatory disease, possibly due to the face\u2019s overactive response to bacteria on the skin that are part of our normal flora( there are many bacteria on the skin that are supposed to be there and don\u2019t hurt us: these are called the normal flora).<\/p>\n

There are 4 types of rosacea, but types 1 and 2 are the most common.<\/p>\n

Type 1 Rosacea<\/h3>\n

Type 1 is redness and dilate blood vessels only. This is a very common type.<\/p>\n

Type 2 Rosacea<\/h3>\n

Type 2 is Type 1 plus acne-like breakouts.\u00a0 Most of the prescription medications for rosacea are focused on treating the acne component.\u00a0 Oral antibiotics such as Oracea, Doxycycline, and Minocycline along with topical antibiotics like metronidazole or azelaic acid (Finacea) can help immensely with the breakouts associated with rosacea.\u00a0 The redness though typically requires topical treatments aimed at reducing inflammation and calming.\u00a0The linear and branching dilated blood vessels that one can see individually require laser therapy to improve them.\u00a0 In addition to improving those, they also can treat the background redness of the rosacea, which is caused by multiple very small blood vessels that aren\u2019t visible individually.\u00a0 The lasers we use at Advanced Dermatology for this include the VBeam<\/a>, Genesis<\/a>, and the Elight SRA device. Dr. Taub has published a paper on the effectiveness of the Elight SRA for rosacea.<\/p>\n

Rosacea patients typically have very sensitive skin and have to be careful about avoiding irritating products.\u00a0 Avoiding fragrance in products as well as in laundry detergent and fabric softener (these often linger in pillowcases and can come into contact with the face during sleep).\u00a0 Skincare product strategies should be carefully considered in consultation with a professional skincare provider (dermatologist or esthetician). \u00a0skinfo\u00ae skincare<\/a> specialists are licensed estheticians who can help you plan your skincare.<\/p>\n

Type 3 Rosacea<\/h3>\n

Skin Type 3 is called rhinophyma when the nose tissue grows and makes the nose appear to be larger.<\/p>\n

Type 4 Rosacea<\/h3>\n

Rosacea Type 4 is ocular (eye) rosacea, which can make the eyes feel gritty, the lids look red and the person effected have frequent styes (chalazion).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
