The appearance of rosacea can often be sudden and alarming. Appearing in mid-life, this issue is characterized by the appearance of facial redness and itchy skin bumps. If left untreated, rosacea can develop further, resulting in the appearance of inflamed papules and pustules on the cheek and nose as well as dilated blood vessels and redness. Severe Rosacea on the nose can lead to Rhinophyma, a condition where the nose becomes bulbous and distorted. Rosacea can often cause insecurity and distress for those struggling with it, and this condition can significantly impact one’s self-esteem. If you are struggling with this condition, our team at Behr Laser & Skin Care Center can help.
REQUEST APPOINTMENTWhat Causes Rosacea?
More often than not, rosacea shows up when a person’s immune system is altered in some way. The main issue responsible for the appearance of the characteristic redness and skin bumps is a peptide-protein called cathelicidin. When a lot of this peptide is produced, the skin becomes inflamed and begins to develop enlarged vessels along with irritation. This immune response may be triggered by genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both. Rosacea is a multi-factored condition and is therefore difficult to adequately diagnose.
What Are the Signs?
Typical signs of rosacea are facial redness, red bumps that sometimes contain pus, and skin irritation. Dilated blood vessels can result in persistent redness. Severe Rosacea or Rhinophyma which leads to a bulbous and distorted nose can have a very negative impact on your self image. If these signs match what you’re going through, you’ll be happy to know that treatments are available. At Behr Laser & Skin Care Center, we offer laser treatments for the blood vessels, redness, and rhinophyma.
