Rosacea Skin Treatments

By Alistair Nole


The chronic and occasionally progressive facial disorder called acne rosacea is one that worldwide, affects 45 million people. 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.

Rosacea can do similar things as melasma, and create darker patches on the face. The difference is that it is only redder. There are other reasons for redness to occur in the face at times. When a person's adrenaline rises, it can cause redness. 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. Genetic traits may point to a group of people who tend to blush more easily than others. Alcohol can also be a factor in facial redness, and rosacea is exacerbated by it's consumption. 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. 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. For severe or less severe instances of rosacea, this can be effective. Depending on the severity of the situation, a dermatologist could prescribe oral antibiotics when the issue warrants it.

Makeup is over-used by people who have rosacea in order to attempt to hide the condition from others. 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. Otherwise, stay away from it. Whenever rosacea symptoms appear, mild cleaners are often recommended. Rosacea is not as likely to get worse if the face is kept as clean as possible. 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.

People of any ancestral background can be afflicted by rosacea, making their lives less than optimal. 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. In order to lessen the effects of rosacea, using a natural skin product is a wise idea. Make use of the experience of the professionals to learn more about treating the condition. 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.
