Rosacea Treatment
Rosacea Treatment – Comprehensive Dermatology Services
Targeted Medical Care for Redness, Sensitivity, and Flare-Ups
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing persistent redness, visible blood vessels, flushing, and sensitivity. Symptoms often worsen over time without medical treatment and may be mistaken for acne, allergies, or simple skin irritation.
At SCN Dermatology, we provide expert rosacea care designed to calm inflammation, reduce visible redness, and prevent flare-ups. Our board-certified dermatologists develop personalized treatment plans that address both current symptoms and long-term skin stability.
Recognizing the Signs of Rosacea
Rosacea symptoms vary by subtype and severity and often progress without treatment. Early diagnosis improves control and long-term outcomes.
- Persistent facial redness, especially on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead
- Frequent flushing or blushing
- Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Burning, stinging, or skin sensitivity
- Acne-like bumps or pustules
- Thickened skin, most commonly on the nose (in advanced cases)
- Eye irritation, dryness, or redness in some patients
Without proper care, rosacea symptoms may become more pronounced and harder to manage.
How SCN Dermatology Manages Rosacea
SCN Dermatology takes a medical, subtype-specific approach to rosacea treatment. Our dermatologists evaluate symptom patterns, triggers, skin type, and disease stage to create a treatment plan tailored to each patient.
Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation, strengthening the skin barrier, minimizing triggers, and improving visible redness and texture.
Treatment Options May Include:
- Prescription topical medications to reduce redness and inflammation
- Oral therapies for moderate or persistent rosacea
- Targeted treatment for acne-like lesions when present
- Skincare regimens designed for sensitive, reactive skin
- Lifestyle and trigger-management guidance to reduce flare-ups
- Ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments
Accurate classification of rosacea subtype is key to effective and lasting results.
