If you suspect you have rosacea or if you feel your Rosacea symptoms are worsening, you should turn to healthcare professionals to get a proper diagnosis so that the right course of treatment can be identified.
A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions, including rosacea. They can examine your skin and investigate your symptoms to provide a diagnosis, prescribe medications or recommend other treatments, and offer advice on how to manage your symptoms.
Your GP can provide an initial diagnosis of rosacea and may prescribe medications or refer you to a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
If you have ocular rosacea, or Rosacea symptoms that appear on the eye, an ophthalmologist, or a medical doctor who specializes in eye care, can provide a diagnosis and recommend the appropriate treatment.
