I don’t want to waste my family practitioner or dermatologist’s time, it’s not that serious a disease
Rosacea is a serious disease, it affects more than 415 million people worldwide. Because of the the way rosacea develops, if left untreated, it may worsen over time.
This makes it worthy of your family practitioner or dermatologist’s time, and now more than ever they’re becoming aware that rosacea is more that just the symptoms we can see.
To make the most of your consultation time prepare by thinking about how your rosacea has bothered you in the last six months.
I didn’t feel like my previous treatment was tailored to me
Everyone’s rosacea is different so you need to discuss all your symptoms with your family practitioner or dermatologist
If your previous treatments didn’t work as well as you had hoped, then you may want to ask your family practitioner or dermatologist about the other treatment options available.
Ensuring they know how rosacea affects you, and what symptoms you experience, is important in customizing your personalized treatment plan to help reduce your rosacea symptoms.

I’ve been told that I will always have rosacea
Currently there is no cure for rosacea, but you can aim for clearer skin and fewer relapses

I don’t think prescription treatments are any more effective
than other products or natural remedies for rosacea
Prescription treatments are needed as part of a successful rosacea management

I’m embarrassed to talk about my skin and the way it looks
Don’t be embarrassed – your family practitioner or dermatologist is here to help
Issues and topics that you feel are personal and embarrassing will be an everyday conversation for a family practitioner or dermatologist. It’s really important that they know about the characteristics of rosacea which are impacting you, both physically and emotionally.
By telling them how the disease really affects you, they can understand the importance of helping you reach success in your rosacea treatment journey.
There is also a growing online community of people with rosacea to offer support and advice on minimizing rosacea symptoms, such as rosacea tips, and identifying specific rosacea triggers.
I find it hard to talk about how my rosacea makes me feel emotionally
The symptoms and impact of rosacea is more than skin deep
Rosacea is a chronic and visible inflammatory disease. As it affects your daily life, chances are it also impacts your mental health and emotional wellbeing. Even though it is not visible, the psychological burden of rosacea is now acknowledged as a real symptom and can be an important part of your rosacea treatment.
Speak to your family practitioner or dermatologist about how your disease affects you both physically and mentally, to tailor your treatment to encompass all of your signs and symptoms – not just the ones they can see.
