Doctor Q&A

So that you know what to expect, here is a list of questions that might help get the conversation started between you and your doctor.

Questions your doctor may ask you

When did you begin experiencing rosacea symptoms?
How often do you experience those symptoms?
Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
Have you noticed that your symptoms get worse after eating certain foods, or doing certain activities?

Could my symptoms be signs of rosacea?
(Symptoms can include: facial redness, red bumps, visible blood vessels, thicker skin, or irritated eyes.)
“My symptoms make me feel”… Tell your doctor if your rosacea symptoms are making you feel insecure, more hesitant, embarrassed, or are disrupting your schedule.
What can I do to help prevent flare-ups?
How can I identify my rosacea triggers? And how do I avoid those triggers in the future?
I have other medical problems, will my medication for those conditions cause any interactions?
What skin care routine do you recommend I use?

Of course, don't hesitate to ask any other questions that come up during your appointment.
