Eczema, psoriasis and rosacea
Schedule a visit if symptoms keep returning, disrupt sleep or daily life, do not improve with usual care, or your treatment is difficult to tolerate.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis can cause raised or thickened scaly areas and changes to the scalp or nails. Its appearance varies across skin tones. Some people also develop joint symptoms.
Rosacea
Rosacea may cause facial flushing, persistent redness or discoloration, visible vessels, bumps, burning or sensitivity. It differs from acne, though both can occur together, and may affect the eyes.
For a new or unexplained rash, see our rash evaluation.
What to expect at your appointment
Your visit includes a skin examination and a review of your health history as part of our medical dermatology care. Tell your provider about affected areas, itching or pain, flare frequency, possible triggers and how symptoms affect daily life.
Bring photos of past flares and a list of skin care products, medications and treatments you have tried. Your provider will also review relevant scalp, nail, joint or eye symptoms.
A diagnosis may not be clear at the first visit. Testing, monitoring or referral may be recommended when needed.
Treatment and follow up
Psoriasis, rosacea and atopic dermatitis (a form of eczema) can be long lasting. Treatment aims to control symptoms and reduce flares rather than provide a permanent cure. Some other forms of eczema may clear when the cause is identified and avoided.
Depending on the diagnosis and severity, care may include skin care changes, avoiding triggers, medicine applied to the skin, light-based treatment, oral or injected medication, or referral. Not every option is appropriate or available onsite.
Follow up allows your provider to review results, side effects and any new symptoms, then adjust treatment when needed.
When to seek urgent care
Seek emergency medical care for a rapidly spreading painful rash with blisters or open sores, especially with fever or symptoms resembling the flu. Redness or scaling over most of the body, widespread bumps filled with pus, or fever with chills, weakness, a rapid pulse or dehydration also need immediate care.
Seek emergency care for sudden vision loss or sudden blurred vision with a painful red eye. Other eye pain, marked redness, light sensitivity or vision changes need urgent eye assessment. Report persistent irritation or a gritty feeling promptly as well.
Possible skin infection needs prompt assessment. Increasing warmth or swelling, pus, yellow or golden crusting, new drainage, worsening pain, fever or feeling ill can require care before a routine appointment.
Tell your provider about joint symptoms. New joint pain or swelling, morning stiffness, a swollen finger or toe, or heel pain warrants timely evaluation for possible psoriatic arthritis and may require referral.
Common questions
Are eczema, psoriasis and rosacea contagious?
Eczema, psoriasis and rosacea themselves are not contagious. Eczema-affected skin can develop a separate infection, and contagious conditions can look similar. Advice depends on the diagnosis.
Will insurance cover my visit and treatment?
Eligible medical visits may be billed to insurance. Coverage depends on your plan, network, diagnosis, medical necessity, referrals and services. Deductibles, copays and coinsurance may apply. Prescriptions, testing, procedures and outside care may have separate charges. Treatments for redness or visible vessels may be excluded or cosmetic; patients pay directly for cosmetic care. Verify benefits with your insurer and review Cortina’s insurance information.
