Achieving Relief from Rosacea Comprehensive
Treatment at Geria Dermatology

• Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition,
  is widely recognized by its telltale signs
  flushed cheeks, visible blood vessels, and small
  bumps similar to pimples. Often misconstrued as
  "adult acne," rosacea affects over 14 million
  Americans, primarily fair-skinned adult women. As
  benign as it might seem, rosacea can
  considerably impact your quality of life, leading
  to frustration, embarrassment, and diminished
  self-esteem.
• At Geria Dermatology, located in Rutherford and
  Verona, New Jersey, we understand the physical
  and emotional toll that rosacea can have on
  individuals. Driven by a deep commitment to skin
  health, our board-certified dermatologists are
  dedicated to helping patients manage their
  rosacea symptoms and improve their overall skin
  wellness.
• Rosacea manifests as red patches primarily on the
  nose and cheeks, potentially spreading to the
  forehead, chin, and even the ears, chest, or
  back. While the condition might not always cause
  discomfort, it can make the skin feel sensitive,
  hot, raw, or tender. It's often mistaken for
  eczema or allergies, making an accurate
  diagnosis crucial for effective treatment.
• The causes of rosacea remain elusive to medical
  researchers. However, genetic predisposition and
  immune system functionality, along with certain
  environmental triggers such as intense exercise,
  emotional stress, extreme weather conditions,
  consumption of hot drinks, spicy foods,
  caffeine, and alcohol, certain cosmetics and
  medications, and menopause, are all believed to
  influence its development and severity.
• At Geria Dermatology, we customize treatment
  plans for rosacea based on its type and severity

• Erythematous Rosacea This mild form of rosacea
  results in easy skin flushing, often triggered
  by certain foods, drinks, heat, or sun exposure.
  We recommend avoiding known triggers and if the
  redness persists, our laser photorejuvenation
  treatments can target the blood vessels in your
  skin. We may also suggest using a green-tinted
  moisturizer to mask the redness.
• Papulopustular Rosacea Characterized by
  persistent redness and small, red, pus-filled
  bumps, this moderate form of rosacea is treatable
  with topical creams, lotions, gels, and washes,
  or oral antibiotics to reduce surface bacteria
  and decrease inflammation.
• Phymatous Rosacea This severe form of rosacea
  causes the oil glands to enlarge, leading to a
  bulbous, red nose and puffy cheeks. In such
  cases, surgery is often the best treatment
  option.
