Rosacea: Burden, the Role of Ceramides and the Microbiome in Treatment, and the Role of the Pharmacist (Pharmacy Technician)

Program Description

Rosacea is an inflammatory dermatological condition that most commonly involves the face. Symptoms of rosacea can range from pain to stinging, burning, itching, and facial flushing. The main goals of skin care regimens for patients with rosacea are utilization of cleansers, moisturizers, and sun protectants with limited irritation to the skin to avoid exacerbations.
