Flushing and rosacea: overview and nursing interventions.
Rosacea is a dynamic facial dermatosis characterized by exacerbations and remissions which affects middle-aged men and women, most of whom flush easily. It is a conspicuous, yet treatable condition. Oral and topical antibiotics, as well as changes in lifestyle and elimination of aggravating factors, are necessary for control. Nurses facilitate compliance with the treatment regimen and optimize patient self-esteem.
