What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a common skin condition characterized by chronic redness that looks similar to blushing and visible blood vessels on the face. In more severe cases, rosacea may cause small, pus-filled bumps that look like acne, rough dry skin, swollen tender nose, dry irritated eyes, and enlarged pores.

Facial redness caused by rosacea may spread to other parts of the body, including the ears, chest, and back.

Rosacea FAQs

If you are interested in learning more about rosacea, including what causes this condition, how it shows up on the skin, and how we treat rosacea in Mansfield, please read our helpful FAQs section.

What causes rosacea?

Currently, researchers are unsure of the exact cause of rosacea but believe it to be one or a combination of the following:

Genetics – rosacea tends to run in families.
Immune-system response – overactive immune system response to a certain bacterium called bacillus oleronius.
H pylori – a specific bug that causes infections of the intestine.
Skin mites – a certain skin mite called a demodex lives on everyone’s skin but some people, especially those with rosacea, may be more sensitive to it.

What does rosacea look like?

Rosacea can show up on the skin in a few different ways, depending on the severity of the skin condition. In many cases, rosacea appears as:

Flushing and facial redness
Small, pus-filled bumps (may look similar to acne)
Skin that may burn or sting
Visible blood vessels on the face
Dry skin that may be rough, scaly, or raised
Swollen, tender skin
Bumpy, thickened skin
Dry, irritated eyes (possible swelling)

If these rosacea symptoms sound familiar to you, we recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist for professional treatment. With the right treatment and management plan, you can find relief from your troublesome rosacea symptoms.

Are there different types of rosacea?

There are four subtypes of rosacea. These include:

Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: Appears as redness, blushing or flushing, and visible blood vessels.
Papulopustular Rosacea: Characterized by redness, uncomfortable swelling, and acne-like bumps on the face.
Phymatous Rosacea: Shows up as thickened skin and has a bumpy, uneven texture.
Ocular Rosacea: Affects the eyes, causing redness and irritation, and eyelids may be swollen.

If you believe you have rosacea but aren’t sure which type, it is best to visit an experienced dermatologist for a professional evaluation and diagnosis.

Does rosacea go away on its own?

Without professional treatment, rosacea will not go away on its own or naturally resolve. If left untreated, the chronic skin condition will likely get worse, causing more severe symptoms. This is true even if it goes away for a period of time, as rosacea often shows up as flare-ups triggered by a combination of genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle.

How is rosacea treated?

At Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio, our board-certified dermatologists use a combination of rosacea treatments to help patients find relief. Treatment generally includes one or several of the following:

Topical medication
Oral antibiotics
Laser treatments
Lifestyle recommendations

Are lasers for rosacea effective?

One of our primary rosacea treatment methods includes laser therapy. Laser treatments for rosacea have been shown to reduce the visibility of blood vessels and remove thickened skin. Additionally, lasers may improve facial redness and the acne-like blemishes that rosacea often causes.
