What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea, a condition that causes the skin to appear inflamed and red, is usually presented across the nose and cheeks. It can frequently be mistaken for other skin ailments but may be treated and handled if diagnosed correctly. Serving the Midland-Odessa, TX area, Refine Plastic Surgery uses several innovative solutions, such as laser treatment, to lighten the skin and reduce the symptoms of this chronic condition. Rosacea can occur in almost anyone, but it's prevalent among middle-aged elderly women with fair skin. Rosacea is a skin disease with no true cure, but it may be managed. When left untreated, it can worsen over the years, causing symptoms to return and flare up for days or weeks. Schedule a consultation with our skin care team at our Odessa, TX practice. We will assess your skin for symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to minimize the symptoms. Medical spa treatments, skin assessments, and surgical consultations are held at our Odessa, TX location. All surgeries are performed at Choice Care Surgery Center in Midland, TX, an advanced, fully accredited, and state-of-the-art outpatient ambulatory surgical center.
How Do I Manage Rosacea?
Although there's not currently a cure for rosacea, there are treatment choices available, such as antibiotics that assist with inflammation. You can use the medication in a pill form or as a cream, lotion, or gel. Pills tend to be much more effective in providing rapid results but can trigger more side effects. If antibiotics aren't effective, acne medications have shown to work for some patients. Surgery may be required in circumstances where the symptoms become permanent, such as enlarged blood vessels or redness that will not subside with other therapies. Laser procedures or electrosurgery may be chosen to minimize the look of blood vessels and to remove excessive tissue buildup across the nose.
What Are the Symptoms of Rosacea?
Rosacea is a complex and often misunderstood skin condition that affects the physical appearance and emotional well-being of millions of people worldwide. Effective treatment and management at Refine Plastic Surgery depend on our Odessa, TX-area patients recognizing the nature of rosacea and its symptoms, which include:
- Facial redness, particularly in the central portion of the face
- Visible swelling and visibility of blood vessels in the nose and cheeks
- Red and swollen bumps on the face, resembling acne, sometimes containing discharge
- Skin feeling hot and tender to the touch
- Eye issues, including dry eye, irritation, and reddened, swollen eyelids
- In rare cases, a swollen nose due to thickening skin around the nose may lead to a bulbous appearance
