Rosacea Skin Treatments

By Alistair Nole


Over 45 million people in the world are affected by acne rosacea, which is known as a chronic facial disorder and it can sometimes be progressive. 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".

Darker spots can form on the face from melasma and this is close to what rosacea can do. Rosacea is different because the marks are more red. Sometimes, redness happens to faces naturally. Natural causes include a spike in adrenaline levels. Dilation of arteries happens after people eat spicy food, and this is another reason redness occurs. When one has rosacea, the redness will be more pronounced and prominent.

Physicians will say that rosacea is not caused by infections of a bacterial nature. 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. Rosacea can appear in people at different ages, and it seems to be around 30 years old when dermatologists diagnose this disorder commonly.

Signs of rosacea may include redness around the cheeks, redness along with bumps and pimples (which usually follow red cheeks), swollen skin around the nose, and blood vessels becoming conspicuous on the skin surface.

As with other skin conditions, lasers can be used to treat rosacea. However, many dermatologists prefer to begin with topical treatment for rosacea. 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. What a lot of people don't know is that it could aggravate the issue by doing that. One should avoid makeup whenever possible, and it should be minimized when used on special occasions. Otherwise, stay away from it. 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. Natural cleansers are the obvious choice, free of major chemicals and unnatural compounds. There are parts of some of these cleansers that will cause harm to your skin.

The symptoms from rosacea can happen to anyone, no matter their background and many find their quality of life is not as good as it was before. Patients can have specific treatments that are for their exact type of rosacea affliction designed for them by their dermatologist. In order to lessen the effects of rosacea, using a natural skin product is a wise idea. 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.
