In this episode of The SKIN Report, Dr. Simran Sethi breaks down a commonly misunderstood skin condition: rosacea in melanin-rich skin. While rosacea has long been underdiagnosed in darker skin tones, Dr. Sethi sheds light on how it presents differently, how to correctly identify it, and how to treat it safely and effectively.

You’ll learn how to distinguish rosacea from acne and melasma, which ingredients to avoid, and what treatments can calm inflammation while protecting the skin barrier. Dr. Sethi also shares an advanced option: microneedling with “skin Botox” to reduce flushing and rebuild skin integrity.

👉 This episode is essential listening for anyone with unexplained cheek flushing, stubborn hyperpigmentation, or recurring irritation.
