About Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Facial angiofibroma may look similar to other skin conditions, such as rosacea or acne
This graphic is for educational purposes only. Skin conditions, including TSC-associated Facial Angiofibroma, may present differently for each person and at different points in time.
While facial angiofibroma may look like acne or rosacea, it is important to recognize that they are distinct conditions. Talk to your doctor about your condition and treatment options.
While symptoms may be treated effectively, there is no cure for facial angiofibroma, and treatment may need to be continued throughout the course of the condition.
Facial angiofibroma typically do not resolve on their own, but with a better understanding of facial angiofibroma associated with TSC and the way it affects you, you and your doctor can start managing your condition.
Not an actual patient. Individual conditions and results may vary.
Faces represent an important element of our social environment
As we look at someone, we typically examine the face starting with the area around the eyes and nose.
When we see someone with a facial defect, our eyes naturally focus on the imperfection first.
This may add to the daily emotional impact facial angiofibroma can have.
Treatment Options
for Facial Angiofibroma
Symptoms vary from person to person. If you’ve been diagnosed with facial angiofibroma, talk to your doctor about a treatment plan, including medications.
Laser therapy
Surgery
Cryotherapy
Physical removal may be used to treat facial angiofibroma
While surgery is not for everyone, it may be an option for people with moderate/severe facial angiofibroma.
Removal can include laser therapy, surgical excision, cryotherapy, and curettage for larger tumors.
Gel
Cream
Topical therapies may be effective and well-tolerated in the treatment of facial angiofibroma.
Close surveillance and intervention are generally recommended for TSC-related skin lesions that rapidly change in size and/or number; cause functional interference, pain, or bleeding; or inhibit social interactions.
