“...when you then see the patient who comes in [with] rosacea and they [have] then got the broken capillaries, the blood vessels starting to appear. It's not that my heart sinks when I see those, compared to a patient with simple background flushing, but I start thinking, we're in for a slightly trickier time here to start pulling them back.” Dr Roger Henderson. In this episode, your hosts, Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson discuss the treatment options available across the rosacea spectrum. From how to treat simple flushing and background redness through to ocular involvement and Rhinophyma.
