General Dermatology

Rosacea

Is a common skin disorder that is characterized by a persistent redness on the face, with the cheeks and nose most frequently affected. It is often referred to as “adult acne”. The cause of rosacea is unknown, but is thought to be due to an abnormal response of blood vessels to thermal stimuli, hot drinks, emotional stress, spicy foods, and particularly chronic sun exposure and damage. Thus producing vasodilation of blood vessels (flushing) and inflammation. Additional skin findings include the appearance of small blood vessels, flushing, and red papules and pustules.
 

Treatment

Dr. Green & Dr. Chaplik’s treatment of Rosacea consists of sunscreens and sunblocks for all patients, and avoidance of specific triggers. The doctors also recommend a combination of treatments tailored to their individual patients. From topical Green Tea cleansers, prescription topical and oral medications, to laser treatments, Dr. Green & Dr. Chaplik significantly help their patients with rosacea.
