Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin disorder that affects more than 13 million Americans. It is characterized by redness or flushing when stressed (in both cold and excessively warm weather), exercising, and as a result of excessive sunlight exposure. It can also be triggered by spicy food, alcohol, and caffeine.

It occurs more often in women than men, can include broken blood vessels or pimples, and often appears in the middle of the face and on the nose.

Untreated rosacea can lead to permanent redness of the face, unsightly blood vessel growths, and an enlargement of the nose called rhinophyma. Dr. Herbert will identify the best medical and cosmetic regimens for you in order to minimize these long-term complications.
