Rosacea is a common skin condition that can sometimes be mistaken for acne, other skin problems or natural ruddiness – and is characterized by blushing or flushing and visible blood vessels in your face, as well as small, pus-filled bumps.
Rosacea, a prevalent skin condition, leads to facial redness and visible blood vessels, distinguishing it from the often painful psoriasis. While rosacea typically lacks physical discomfort, its impact on facial aesthetics can cause significant emotional distress. At Atlanta Skin Wellness Center, we help our patients treat and control their rosacea, as well as understand the potential triggers that may be causing flare-ups.
Approximately 16 million Americans suffer from rosacea, but a small percentage receive treatment. The National Rosacea Society is dedicated to increasing awareness, supporting research, and providing information to help those with rosacea understand their condition and manage its effects more efficiently. The exact cause of rosacea is still a mystery, but recent research has shed light on important aspects of its pathology, potentially paving the way for breakthroughs in treatment. Studies indicate that the noticeable facial redness of rosacea may be the beginning of an inflammatory process triggered by neurovascular imbalances and the body's innate immune response.

While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it's believed to be a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. Triggers like hot foods, alcohol, stress, and certain medications can aggravate the condition by increasing blood flow to the skin's surface.
If you experience persistent redness, visible blood vessels, or acne-like bumps on your face, it's important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
No, rosacea is not contagious. It is a chronic skin condition that affects individuals mostly with fair skin and is related to various internal and external factors.
Although there is no cure for rosacea, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment plan. Dr. Barnett offers a range of treatments that can control symptoms and improve skin appearance.
Managing triggers is key. Avoiding known irritants like spicy foods, alcohol, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight can help. Additionally, treatments from dermatologists, including medications and lifestyle advice, are crucial in managing flare-ups.
The response to rosacea treatment varies by individual. Some patients may see improvements within weeks, while others may require longer-term management strategies. Dr. Barnett will work closely with you to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
