PATIENTS WHO SUFFER from
rosacea may exhibit any number
of uncomfortable symptoms, from
fl ushing and dilated capillaries
to papules, pustules and ocular
irritation. Treatment options
similarly vary, as do theories as
to what the underlying causes of
rosacea may be. While recent
research highlights cardiovascular
links and explores the potential
role of facial microorganisms,
experts agree that the best
treatments for rosacea target the
chronic infl ammation of the skin
and body, and require a holistic
approach to patient care.
