common.months_ago

common.summary

Rosacea is a common skin condition with varied manifestations and treatments. Acne rosacea, characterized by pimples, is often treated with topical creams like Metro Cream or oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline. Diffuse redness and visible blood vessels are addressed using lasers, including Excel V or pulsed dye lasers. Flushing, which can be triggered by factors like wine, temperature changes, or spicy foods, has historically been challenging to treat. However, newer approaches involve Botox injections and Exosomes, which help reduce inflammation and improve flushing symptoms.
