rosacea2006

Hi Dr. Brodell, For the sake of science I can add to your hormonal and inflammatory theory. During pregnancy, my entire face flushed as well I developed asthma and sinusitis that cleared once my child was born. This pattern reemerged when I got pregnant with my son. That was 6 years ago. Are you researching the role of hormones in rosacea? Perhaps it is just another strong inflammatory trigger. Also, for the sake of science, I would add that my rosacea also flared when I went on certain dopamine agonists that were supposed to increae my basal metabolic rate (and inc body temp). My question for you: have you researched or developed an ideal laser treatment protocol for flushing rosacea? acne rosacea? (i.e. is the triple pass technique ideal for hitting all layers of the vascular problem?) To the best of your knowledge, what technology is best for rosacea treatment.? It seems that defining an optimal laser treatment protocol for the different types of rosacea, would be of utmost importance to rosacea sufferers. Of course, finding the cure is of utmost importance, but in the meantime, rosacea sufferers need to control the disease. Thank you for weighing in on this. Your expertise is greatly appreciated. Anne
