I have Roseca. I want to know if the papules are the same as sebacious hyperplasia and are millia also part of Roseca ? Can Tea Tree oil be used on the face for Roseca bumps? Thank you
Answer: Improving Rosacea with Clear + Brilliant, peels and VBeam/Yellow lasers, Botox/Xeomin/Dysport No, tea tree oil won't give improvement. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Rosacea and bumps Thank you for the question. Rosacea is usually redness with pink to red bumps and pustules. Comedones are not part of rosacea. Sebaceous hyperplasia can be seen in any patient. Make sure you have an evaluation by a dermatologist to determine the type of lesions and best treatment. Do not recommend Tea Tree oil. It may irritate. Newer treatments include Rhofade, Solantra. Photofacial can help redness. There are also medical grade moisturizers and sunscreen that reduce redness. Hyperplasia can be treated with cautery or laser.

Answer: Rosacea and treatment options Hi, and thanks for your question. I would recommend evaluation by a board certified dermatologist to see what all the lesions on the face actually are before trying some home remedy. Tea tree oil can be irritating and sometimes can worsen the redness, especially if you have sensitive skin. It will not remove sebaceous hyperplasia or milia. They can be treated with low voltage electrical hyfercation or laser, or even unroofing the milia and using a comedone extractor, but you want to be sure you are properly diagnosed before attempting removal of any of those.

Answer: Rosacea and bumps Milia are just stopped up oil glands, sebaceous hyperplasia is overgrowth of the oil glands and neither of these are part of rosacea. the papules of rosacea if they occur are like other acne lesions. Tea trea oil will be of no benefit

Answer: Rosacea and treatment options. Tea tree oil is not a recognised treatment. Additionally sebaceous hyperplasia is a seperate condition from rosacea and easily managed. Best see a medical dermatologist for both these problems, then work in with a laser dermatologist to treat residual areas of redness and sebaceous hyperplasia with lasers. Rosacea is very complex and a tailored treatment program give the best results. This is because there are many types of rosacea (telengtctatic or capillaries, flushing and redness, acne like rosacea, ocular rosacea and even rhinophyma rosacea.)
