Rosacea – Our doctor’s opinion

As part of its quality approach, Passeportsanté.net invites you to discover the opinion of a health professional. Dr Dominic Larose, emergency physician, gives you his opinion on the rosacea :

Rosacea is of concern because it can cause very visible lesions on the face. We must not neglect the psychological consequences in people who are affected. On the other hand, the famous “brandy nose” (rhinophyma) is rather rare and affects almost exclusively men.

The medical treatments are quite effective and a consultation with a specialist doctor is advised. In addition, one should be wary of cosmetic products sold without a prescription and whose effectiveness is questionable.

Dr Dominic Larose, M.D.
