Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing persistent redness, visible blood vessels, acne-like bumps, and frequent flushing. While rosacea is common, it often goes undiagnosed or mistaken for acne or sensitive skin.
At Mittal Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists specialize in the diagnosis and long-term management of rosacea, helping patients control symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve skin appearance and comfort.
At Mittal Dermatology, rosacea treatment is personalized based on subtype, severity, and individual skin sensitivity. Treatment plans may include:
Topical Medications
- Anti-inflammatory and redness-reducing prescription creams or gels
- Medications that reduce bumps and irritation
Oral Medications
- Low-dose oral antibiotics for inflammatory rosacea
- Short-term courses when needed for flare control
Advanced & In-Office Treatments
- Laser and light-based therapies to reduce redness and visible blood vessels
- Treatment planning for phymatous changes
- Eye care coordination for ocular rosacea
Daily Skin Care Guidance
- Gentle, fragrance-free cleansers
- Barrier-repair moisturizers
- Sun protection with mineral sunscreen
- Avoidance of harsh or exfoliating products
Consistent treatment helps keep symptoms under control and reduces flare frequency.
Although rosacea is a long-term condition, most patients achieve excellent control with proper care. Dermatologic management focuses on:
- Reducing inflammation
- Preventing flare-ups
- Protecting the skin barrier
- Improving overall skin tone and comfort
Ongoing follow-up allows treatment adjustments as symptoms and triggers change.
Is rosacea the same as acne?
No. While rosacea can cause acne-like bumps, it does not involve clogged pores and requires different treatment.
Can rosacea go away on its own?
Rosacea typically does not resolve without treatment and may worsen over time if unmanaged.
Is rosacea caused by poor hygiene?
No. Rosacea is a medical skin condition unrelated to cleanliness.
Does rosacea affect men and women?
Yes — rosacea affects both, though certain subtypes are more common in specific populations.
At Mittal Dermatology, we provide expert, compassionate care for patients with rosacea. Our approach emphasizes:
- Accurate diagnosis of rosacea subtypes
- Individualized treatment plans
- Evidence-based medical and procedural options
- Long-term symptom control and skin health
We work closely with patients to help them feel confident and comfortable in their skin.
