Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes rashes and skin to redden on the nose and cheeks. The symptoms tend to come and go and are often triggered by sun exposure, stress, an overactive immune system or environmental factors. For some people it can even be triggered through hot or spicy food.
Soothe Redness. Calm Flares. Take Control of Rosacea.
Rosacea is more than just facial redness — it’s a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that can significantly affect your comfort and confidence. At Meira Dermatology, we provide personalized, professional care to help manage your rosacea symptoms and reduce flare-ups so you can feel confident in your skin again.
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing:
- Persistent redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead
- Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Small, red bumps or acne-like pustules
- Flushing, burning, or stinging sensations
- Thickening of the skin in advanced cases (especially on the nose)
Rosacea tends to affect fair-skinned adults between the ages of 30 and 50, though it can appear in people of all skin tones.
Rosacea symptoms often come and go and can be triggered or worsened by:
- Sun exposure
- Stress or anxiety
- Hot or spicy foods
- Alcohol consumption
- Hot beverages (coffee or tea)
- Extreme temperatures or wind
- Certain skincare products or medications
Identifying and avoiding personal triggers is key to managing the condition.
At Meira Dermatology, we offer a range of evidence-based rosacea treatments, including:
Topical prescriptions – Reduce inflammation, redness, and breakouts
Oral medications – Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents for moderate to severe symptoms
Laser and light therapy – Target visible blood vessels and reduce facial redness
Lifestyle guidance – Identify and eliminate triggers to reduce flare frequency
Gentle skincare – Customized product recommendations for rosacea-prone skin
While rosacea cannot be cured, early intervention and consistent management can dramatically reduce symptoms and improve skin appearance.
If you experience:
- Frequent facial flushing
- Persistent redness that doesn’t go away
- Acne-like breakouts on the central face
- Sensitivity, stinging, or swelling
…it’s time to schedule a dermatology consultation. Rosacea often worsens over time if left untreated, but early care can prevent long-term damage and discomfort.
In addition to medical treatments, the following can help soothe rosacea-prone skin:
- Use a fragrance-free, non-irritating cleanser
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
- Moisturize twice daily with a rosacea-safe moisturizer
- Avoid exfoliants, astringents, or alcohol-based products
- Keep a rosacea trigger journal to identify flare patterns
