Rosacea Skin Treatments

By Alistair Nole


The chronic and occasionally progressive facial disorder called acne rosacea is one that worldwide, affects 45 million people. Permanent redness, swelling, exceptionally sensitive skin, and bloodshot eyes are common complaints of those who suffer from this condition. 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. The difference is that it is only redder. There are other reasons for redness to occur in the face at times. 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.

Doctors rule out bacterial infection as a cause for rosacea. Blushing occurs with some people more than others, and genetic attributes contribute to this. The condition can be aggravated by certain factors such as consumption of alcohol, which is also known to make your face red. The age of 30 is a common time for rosacea to be diagnosed by a dermatologist.

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.

Rosacea can be treated using lasers, which work well for many kinds of skin disorders. Dermatologists usually prescribe a topical rosacea treatment to begin with. 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. Dermatologists will prescribe more heavy duty oral antibiotics when the disorder is very highly advanced.

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. Whenever possible, no makeup is the best solution. 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. 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. 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. However, like any medical condition, it's always best to consult the specialists. 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.
