Rosacea Awareness Month: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

Blushing is one of the ways your body expresses emotions, from embarrassment to love. However, some people seem to blush more than others. This condition, called rosacea, is a chronic skin disease that causes redness and swelling on the cheeks of the face. While it’s fairly common, it can have a significant impact on self-esteem and confidence. At Premier Dermatology, our dermatologists in Delaware provide services to minimize the appearance of rosacea. Here are some symptoms, causes, and remedies for rosacea that can be offered for those who are struggling with rosacea.

  • Facial blushing
  • Visible veins in the face and neck area
