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. Symptoms from this include permanent redness and swelling, very sensitive skin, and bloodshot eyes. Those from north-western European descent have been known to be particularly affected by this, and some in Ireland dubbed it "The curse of the Celts".

Rosacea can do similar things as melasma, and create darker patches on the face. The marks are more red with rosacea, that is the main distinction. There are other reasons for redness to occur in the face at times. When a person's adrenaline rises, it can cause redness. It can also be caused by dilation of the arteries when you eat something really spicy. Redness from rosacea is much more severe than these natural reasons.

Physicians will say that rosacea is not caused by infections of a bacterial nature. Blushing occurs with some people more than others, and genetic attributes contribute to this. Alcohol can also be a factor in facial redness, and rosacea is exacerbated by it's consumption. Rosacea can appear in people at different ages, and it seems to be around 30 years old when dermatologists diagnose this disorder commonly.

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. A topical solution is often first recommended by dermatologists for those who rosacea affects. There are antibiotic skin creams available that are effective for treating rosacea, and minocin and tetracycline are common ingredients in these. This works for both light and moderate cases of rosacea. Depending on the severity of the situation, a dermatologist could prescribe oral antibiotics when the issue warrants it.

Many people who are afflicted with rosacea use a lot of makeup to try to cover it up. The fact about this is that the issue will be made worse by using too much makeup. Use makeup sparingly, and only when absolutely necessary like when you need to attend an important social gathering. In regular situations, there is no need for makeup. Using a mild facial cleaner is a good idea when someone has symptoms from rosacea. If you keep your facial skin clean this will lessen the likelihood that rosacea will spread. It's also a good idea to use only natural cleansers that don't contain strong chemicals and substances. Skin can be damaged by some more serious kinds of elements that are contained in some solutions.

Rosacea can occur in adults of any ethnicity, and adversely affects patients' quality of life. Depending on the certain kind of rosacea that a person is suffering from, a suitable treatment can be devised that will be most beneficial to a patient. Using products that are natural in origin help a lot for reducing rosacea symptoms. Talking to the experts is the most sensible idea, since you can benefit from their experience. There are plenty of dermatologists who are well respected and knowledgeable that can help treat rosacea, melasma and any other skin conditions, that will improve the lives of patients.
