The classic lesion of rosacea is a pustule (a red bump with pus), although; swelling, flushing, redness and small blood vessels called telangiectasias can also appear on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Rosacea if not treated can progress to an advanced form with an enlarged nose and puffy cheeks called rhinophyma. Rosacea can also be associated with burning and grittiness of the eyes. This is a form of eye irritation is called rosacea conjunctivitis. If you have these symptoms one should see an ophthalmologist. Treatment: There is no cure for rosacea; however, by following the below suggestion and seeing your dermatologist when the symptoms begin can greatly improve the signs and symptoms of rosacea.
Your Dermatologist can prescribe topical and oral antibiotics to reduce the pustules and redness seen and can give you detailed information regarding rosacea and the various causes that can trigger it. Seeing you Dermatologist soon after the symptoms present may prevent the more severe changes of rosacea from occurring.
