Rosacea
Rosacea (rose-AY-sha), is a condition that affects women and men after age 30. Small blood capillaries come to the surface of the skin, where they remain and appear red or "blushed". This can cause redness and pore enlargement. Often referred to as "adult acne,"; rosacea may begin as a tendency to flush or blush easily, and progress to persistent redness in the center of the face that may gradually involve the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. It also may involve the ears, chest, back and even the eyes.
Early Treatment Recommended
The best advice for you if you think may have rosacea is to come in and see Dr. Howard L. Brooks as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can control the signs and symptoms of rosacea. The early stages of rosacea are usually not visible or uncomfortable. Early treatment also may stop rosacea from progressing.
 
How Dr. Brooks Treats Rosacea
To treat rosacea, Dr. Brooks must first identify the type of rosacea that may be present on your skin. This diagnosis is crucial because each type has its own unique signs and symptoms, which often require different therapies. The following are some possible symptoms to look for:
- Redness, Flushing, and Visible Blood Vessels
- Bumps and Pus-filled Lesions
- Thickening Skin

This condition rarely reverses itself and may last for years. With treatment, however, this condition can be controlled successfully. Dr. Brooks is an expert in the treatment of this condition and uses many different treatments including lasers to decrease signs of rosecea. Additionally, he can recommend skin products for this condition that improve the symptoms dramatically.
