Rosacea
Rosacea (diffuse, pink discoloration of the face) is a very common condition seen predominantly in light-skinned men and women (although it has been described in African Americans). The main features of rosacea include sensitivity to the sun, easy blushing, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasias), diffuse redness of the cheeks, nose, chin, and/or forehead with sparing of the eyelids, and pimples (papules and pustules).
In all instances, rigorous sun avoidance and sun protection with high SPF sunscreens and wide-brimmed hats are crucial to a favorable outcome and minimizing recurrences.
Possible treatments:
Topical agents
Oral medications
Aurora® (Intense Pulsed Light + Radiofrequency - ELOS)
Diolite® laser
