Rosacea diagnosis and treatments

Patients who have been diagnosed with rosacea may be unsure as to what their next steps are. Understanding the condition is the first step in finding out what can be done to resolve it. Dr. Stephen Comite is our Board-Certified dermatologist at SkinProvement Dermatology New York and is available to educate New York, New York area patients about this condition.

What is rosacea?

Dr. Comite describes rosacea as a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face. It is characterized typically by facial redness, swelling, and often by small bumps or pimples. While rosacea can happen to anyone, it is most commonly seen in fair-skinned individuals.

What can trigger episodes of rosacea?

Many factors tend to trigger episodes of rosacea, including exposure to sunlight, stress, hot or cold weather, spicy foods, and certain skincare products. Patients should keep track of their triggers and avoid them whenever possible to help manage their condition.

What is the best treatment for rosacea?

Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for rosacea. Dr. Comite works closely with individuals to create personalized treatment plans based on their specific needs and triggers. This may include topical or oral medications or lifestyle changes.

What are some skin care recommendations for patients with redness and rosacea?

In addition to medical treatment, some skin care recommendations can help improve symptoms of rosacea. Patients should avoid harsh and abrasive products and those containing alcohol or fragrance. Gentle cleansers and moisturizers specifically designed for those with sensitive skin are recommended. Patients with rosacea must also wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily and protect the face from extreme temperatures.
