Rosacea Patients Receive Rosacea Diary from Dermatologists Using Vivacare
The 16 million Americans suffering from rosacea can now learn more about this chronic skin disorder from dermatologists, the most trusted source for skin care advice.
April is National Rosacea Awareness Month and dermatologists enrolled in Vivacare’s online patient education now provide their patients up-to-date, in-depth information about rosacea. Dermatologists add rosacea handouts to their practice Websites for convenient online access by their patients. New rosacea topics cover rosacea basics, different types of rosacea, rosacea treatment options, rosacea medications, (Oracea, MetroGel, Finacea), IPL for rosacea, and a new rosacea diary to help rosacea patients identify the triggers that may lead to rosacea flares.
The From Your Doctor patient education service enables leading dermatologists to create an online Patient Education Library with personalized patient handouts and clinical images. Physicians can use the service to provide their patients with convenient access to practical health information that reinforces key clinical messages.
“Vivacare wishes to support the National Rosacea Society in its effort to increase awareness of rosacea”, said Dr. Mark Becker, founder and President of Vivacare. “By providing dermatologists with robust health information, we hope to help get the word out about this often undiagnosed skin condition, and the importance of early treatment.”
