This common but little-known disorder of the facial skin creates a red-faced, acne-like effect on personal appearance.

Warning signs:

• Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead.
• Small visible blood vessels on the face.
• Bumps or pimples on the face.
• Watery or irritated eyes.

Signs and symptoms of rosacea vary from one patient to another, so you will want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lawler for a consultation.

Dr. Lawler may suggest treatments with intense pulsed light sources or other medical devices to remove visible blood vessels, reduce extensive redness or correct disfigurement of the nose.
