PATIENT BURDEN
Take a deeper look beneath the surface of rosacea
Meet Heather
Aged 39, an educator, suffers from moderate-severe rosacea (IGA 3)
Heather loves to be around people, but when her rosacea flares, she finds herself being more withdrawn, declining invitations and purposely missing out on photo opportunities with family and friends.
Not an actual patient
The hardest part for me is
never knowing what my face is going to look like when I wake up in the morning. Even before I look in the mirror, I feel the burning and stinging – it’s so painful – and then I see the annoying bumps and redness.
It just never seems to go away
It’s affecting every part of my life – my job, and meeting with friends and family. It always feels like people are looking at me.
I’m tired of hiding behind my rosacea. I really want to take back control!

Are patients telling you how deeply rosacea affects them?
