Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that most commonly affects the face, neck, and chest. The typical patient will complain of a hot/itchy/burning or tingling sensation on their face and experience symptoms such as flushing, pimples, or redness. Symptoms tend to be intermittent and come and go. Typically symptoms are exacerbated by triggers such as heat, sun, hot liquids, spicy foods, and stress. While there is no cure for rosacea it is important to get it under control to avoid long-term complications like blood vessel formation and thickening of the skin. Dr. Desai will work with you to customize a treatment plan that may include medications and laser treatments so that you can be comfortable and confident in your skin.
