ROSACEA

The many symptoms that mimic rosacea and the skin conditions with symptoms similar to rosacea can make the diagnosis of rosacea difficult. Medications used in the treatment of acne can be too harsh or aggressive leading to the onset of rosacea or acne rosacea. Aggressive acne treatments to reduce oiliness of the skin can result in the flaking associated with seborrheic dermatitis. The butterfly rash of lupus can lead to a mis-diagnosis of rosacea. On this blog I will show you the difference between rosacea, eczema, acne, lupus and psoriasis. It is possible for these skin conditions to co-exist making successful treatment of any or all conditions especially difficult. Treating skin conditions need not involve an endless round of laser treatments and antibiotics, it can be as simple as modifying your lifestyle to include positive skin health and skin care habits. The treatment of rosacea or any skin condition must involve treatment of the whole body.
