What Are the Symptoms of Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition causing redness in the center of the face—usually the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin.

Common symptoms include:
• Flushing that worsens over time
• Skin thickening
• Visible blood vessels
• Red or pus-filled bumps
• Burning, stinging, or swelling
• Dry-looking skin

Rosacea may also affect the eyes (ocular rosacea), causing irritation or eyelid swelling — this should be evaluated in person by a healthcare provider or eye doctor.

Do You Need a Prescription Treatment?

It depends on your symptoms:

  • Mild dandruff: Light flaking or shedding without redness or irritation

  • Moderate to severe dandruff: Persistent scaling, inflammation, or itching that doesn’t improve with OTC products

iVisitDoc Care & Access

You can connect with a provider via telehealth through Amazon One Medical’s Pay-per-visit service to discuss your rosacea symptoms. Based on your consultation and health history, your provider may recommend prescription treatments (like topical creams or gels), lifestyle changes, or over-the-counter options. If medically appropriate, a prescription will be sent to your preferred pharmacy.

While the Pay-per-visit service itself is not billed through insurance, you may use your health insurance to cover the cost of any prescribed medications or pharmacy services, including those filled through Amazon Pharmacy.

If your provider determines that your symptoms require in-person evaluation or care outside the scope of telehealth, you’ll receive guidance on next steps. This may include visiting a dermatologist or primary care provider for further examination or testing.

Yes. After your Pay-per-visit appointment, you can typically send follow-up questions through your One Medical account. This can include questions about how to use your medication, what to expect from treatment, or when to seek additional care.

If you’ve previously been prescribed a rosacea medication through Pay-per-visit and need a refill or renewal, you can request one through your One Medical account. Refills may be approved if your provider determines the treatment is still appropriate.

About Rosacea

The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood. Research suggests several contributing factors, including:

Common triggers that may cause flare‑ups include:

No. Rosacea is a chronic, long‑term skin condition that currently has no cure. Mayo Clinic+1
However, with treatment and management (including identifying triggers, using prescribed medications, and adopting gentle skin‑care routines), the symptoms can often be controlled and reduced.

While natural approaches alone may not replace medical treatment, they can support overall management. These include:

  • Gentle skin care: use fragrance‑free, non‑irritating cleansers and moisturizers. Cleveland Clinic+1

  • Cold compresses or aloe vera gel to soothe acute flushing. Cleveland Clinic

  • Green tea, oatmeal masks, chamomile applications for anti‑inflammatory effects. Cleveland Clinic+1

  • Avoid known triggers (sun, alcohol, spicy foods) and keep a trigger diary. Cleveland Clinic+1

  • Use daily broad‑spectrum sunscreen and protect facial skin from environmental stressors. iLiveActive
