A common skin disease, rosacea begins with a tendency to flush color or
blush more easily than other people. Over time, the redness associated
with rosacea spreads beyond the cheeks and nose to the rest of the face
and even the neck. Rosacea can cause more than just redness; there are
four subtypes of the rosacea condition:
Phymatous rosacea: A bumpy skin texture and thickening of skin
Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: Redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels
Papulopustular rosacea: Acne-like breakouts coupled with swelling
Ocular rosacea: Irritation of eyes and swelling of the eyelids
Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that can impact a person’s quality
of life. Although there is no cure for rosacea, symptoms like redness
and breakouts can be decreased with a visit to our experienced dermatologists
at Ogden Clinic.

Learning what triggers rosacea is one of the most effective ways to manage
the disorder. With help from an Ogden Clinic dermatologist, these rosacea
triggers can be identified and a skincare plan can be developed to address
your unique condition.
