Rosacea afflicts 16 million Americans and most of them don’t know it, but the public can now learn more about this chronic skin disorder from their own dermatologist.

Now, as part of Rosacea Awareness Month, leading dermatologists are helping the public learn more about this chronic skin disorder and the availability of safe and effective treatment options.

Vivacare has provided in-depth rosacea education resources to the 3,000 dermatologists that use Vivacare’s “From Your Doctor” patient education service. Vivacare has expanded the patient education content regarding rosacea to include patient handouts about the different subtypes of rosacea and rosacea treatment options, including topical medications (Finacea®, MetroGel®), oral medications (Oracea®), surgical procedures, IPL for rosacea, and a rosacea diary.

Dr. Mark Becker, pediatrician and President of Vivacare said that “by providing dermatologists with in-depth resources about rosacea, we help them inform their communities about this under diagnosed skin condition and the availability of safe and effective treatments.”
