Rosacea Skin Treatments

By Alistair Nole


Acne rosacea is a chronic and at times progressive facial disorder that afflicts 45 million people all over the world. It is characterized by an extremely sensitive skin, permanent redness, bloodshot eyes and swelling. Since this affliction was noted in the past to affect those who are descended from north-western Europe, "the curse of the Celts" is a name that Irish people sometimes gave this disorder.

If melasma turns parts of your face dark, rosacea somewhat does the same. The difference is that it is only redder. It's natural for people's faces to turn red from time to time. Natural causes include a spike in adrenaline levels. Dilation of arteries happens after people eat spicy food, and this is another reason redness occurs. Redness from rosacea is much more severe than these natural reasons.

Rosacea is not caused by infections such as bacteria, studies have shown and doctors agree. Some people have a higher tendency to blush than others, due to genetic reasons. Those who consume alcohol can have redder faces, but when that person has rosacea, it can make it worse. The age of 30 is a common time for rosacea to be diagnosed by a dermatologist.

Prominent blood vessels on the face, red cheeks and pimples and other bumps, and puffy skin in the nose area are common symptoms of rosacea.

Rosacea can be treated using lasers, which work well for many kinds of skin disorders. However, many dermatologists prefer to begin with topical treatment for rosacea. Too much redness is sometimes treated with tetracycline or minocin antibiotics that are included in some topical creams. This kind of treatment method can be helpful for mild and more extreme rosacea afflicted patients. In managing severe cases, oral antibiotics may be prescribed by a dermatologist for a more potent control of the skin condition.

Putting on more makeup is usually the first thing rosacea sufferers do to cover their face. Remember that if you do this, you may only worsen the problem. Do not use makeup for this reason, be sure to only use it when it is for an important engagement, and don't use much. Whenever possible, no makeup is the best solution. Cleaners that are mild in nature are the best option for rosacea symptoms. Cleanliness will make the chances that rosacea will worsen to be much less. Natural cleansers are the obvious choice, free of major chemicals and unnatural compounds. This way, your skin won't be subjected to harmful irritants that will only further damage it.

Rosacea can occur in adults of any ethnicity, and adversely affects patients' quality of life. The condition can be effectively controlled with therapy tailored to the specific subtype of rosacea that is affecting the patient. Natural products go a long way in minimizing the effects of rosacea. Talking to the experts is the most sensible idea, since you can benefit from their experience. A reputable and reliable skin doctor can provide you with the most effective treatment for melasma, rosacea, and other skin disorders to make you happier and more confident.
