Travel Guide to Avanos

Understanding Rosacea
Persistent redness, flushing and occasional small bumps on the cheeks, nose and forehead characterise rosacea, a chronic skin condition.
Common Triggers
The cause is not fully known, but heat, strong sun, alcohol, hot drinks, spicy food and stress frequently trigger flare-ups, so holidays can make it worse.

How Rosacea Is Treated
The physician looks at photos, confirms the likely diagnosis, advises on triggers and prescribes treatment for flares when suitable. Options may include topical metronidazole, azelaic acid or ivermectin, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
