Best Rosacea Doctors in Kolkata

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face. This condition manifests as facial redness, flushing, evident blood vessels, and eruptions similar to acne. Rosacea affects millions of individuals worldwide, with varying severity and symptoms. Although the exact cause for this ailment is not entirely understood, it is believed to be a blend of genetic factors and certain environmental triggers like spicy foods, hot beverages, extreme temperatures, and sun exposure.

In Kolkata, increased pollution and sweltering heat often exacerbate skin conditions like rosacea. The healthcare community in Kolkata has some of the best doctors for acne. Apollo Hospitals in Kolkata houses experienced skin redness doctors and skin rash specialists among dermatologists who can help manage this condition effectively.

Types/Stages of Rosacea

Rosacea presents itself in four distinct subtypes:

  • Vascular rosacea: Characterised by red areas on the face and visible small blood vessels.

  • Inflammatory rosacea: Facial redness accompanied by red bumps (papules) and pus-filled spots (pustules).

  • Phymatous rosacea: The skin thickens and becomes bumpy, commonly on the nose.

  • Ocular rosacea: Inflammation of the eyes and eyelids (blepharitis), sometimes without any visible skin symptoms.

Symptoms of Rosacea

Rosacea may exhibit a variety of symptoms. Some common symptoms observed by skin redness doctors include:

  • Flushing or redness primarily in the central region of the face

  • Swollen red bumps and pimples

  • Visible tiny blood vessels

  • Thickened skin on the nose

  • Dry, itchy, and sensitive eyes

Tests to Diagnose Rosacea

At Apollo Hospitals Kolkata, several diagnostic methods are utilised by skin rash specialists to identify rosacea:

  • Physical Examination: the affected skin is observed for the signs of rosacea, such as facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and acne-like lesions (papules and pustules).

  • Medical History: Patient’s medical history, including any previous skin conditions, family history or triggers that develop this condition.

  • Exclusion of Other Conditions: Since rosacea can resemble other skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or lupus, facial redness specialists may perform skin biopsies, blood tests, or other specialized tests as needed.

  • Ocular Examination: If ocular symptoms are present, an eye examination by an ophthalmologist may be recommended to assess for inflammation of the eyelids (blepharitis) or conjunctivitis and other signs of ocular rosacea.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Rosacea at Apollo Hospitals Kolkata

Rosacea, while incurable, can be effectively managed at Apollo Hospitals. Various treatment plans are offered by some of the best doctors for acne and rosacea. These may include:

  • Lifestyle modifications: Advising patients to avoid known triggers such as spicy foods and sun exposure.

  • Skin Care regimen: Recommending gentle, pH-balanced cleansers and avoidance of irritants such as alcohol and menthol.

  • Medical treatments: Use of topical medications like brimonidine, azelaic acid and metronidazole for erythema and papules. In severe cases, oral antibiotics such as doxycycline may be prescribed.

  • Surgical interventions: In severe cases of phymatous rosacea such as rhinophyma, surgical removal of excess tissue may be required.
