Doctor explains ROSACEA | Skin Condition - Causes, Treatment and more!

In this educational video Dr O'Donovan explains key things you need to know about Rosacea. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, pimples, swelling, and dilated blood vessels. Discover the triggers that can worsen rosacea, such as certain foods, beverages, weather conditions, and stress. Explore effective treatments including topical and oral medications, laser therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. What Are the Symptoms of Rosacea? Rosacea can cause a rash and blushing that might make you feel embarrassed, lower your self-esteem, and even lead to anxiety or depression. The affected skin can feel very hot or sting. Some people with rosacea may also have eye problems, like inflammation of the front part of the eye, which can cause blurred vision. If you have symptoms affecting your eyes, it's important to see a dermatologist or an optician. What Does Rosacea Look Like? Rosacea often starts with a tendency to blush easily. Over time, the central areas of the face can turn a deeper shade of red with small, dilated blood vessels, bumps, and pus-filled spots. In some cases, the facial skin can swell, especially around the eyes. Men might experience an overgrowth of the oil-secreting glands on the nose, causing it to become enlarged and red, a condition called rhinophyma. What are treatment options? 1. Topical Treatments: You can apply medications to the affected areas to control inflammation. It might take at least 8 weeks to see the effects. Some treatments specifically target the redness associated with rosacea. 2. Oral Antibiotics: For moderate to severe rosacea, antibiotics can help with inflammation. Common antibiotics include tetracycline, doxycycline, and erythromycin. Self-Care Tips Here are some things you can do to manage rosacea: • Sun Protection: Use a sunblock with an SPF of at least 30 every day. • Gentle Cleansing: Avoid rubbing or scrubbing your face and use a gentle soap substitute. • Moisturizing: Use a non-perfumed moisturizer if your skin is dry or sensitive. • Avoid Triggers: Keep a diary of what worsens your rosacea and try to avoid those triggers. • Cosmetics: You can use makeup to cover rosacea. Skin camouflage can help hide excessive redness. • Avoid Irritants: Avoid using acne treatments and corticosteroid creams unless recommended by your dermatologist. • Eye Care: If your eyes are affected, see a GP, dermatologist, or eye specialist. • Medication Review: Some drugs can worsen blushing. Your doctor might adjust your medication accordingly.
