Rosacea (rose-AY-sha) is a common skin disease. It often begins with a tendency to blush or flush more quickly than other people. The redness can slowly spread beyond the nose and cheeks to the forehead and chin. Even the ears, chest, and back can be red. A treatment plan for rosacea includes avoiding triggers, using gentle skincare products, and treating the rosacea. Many skin care products can irritate skin with rosacea. Some skincare habits, such as scrubbing your skin clean, can cause rosacea to flare. Using mild skincare products and being gentle with your skin can help prevent flare-ups. If you have trouble finding soft skincare products, ask your dermatologist for recommendations-best results achieved with patient education. While medicine or laser treatment can help reduce or clear signs of rosacea, your everyday habits may cause a new flare-up.
