Skin Treatments for Rosacea

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. It is characterized by an extremely sensitive skin, permanent redness, bloodshot eyes and swelling. This skin condition was known to only affect people of north-western European descent, and has been nicknamed the curse of the Celts by some Irish folks.

If melasma turns parts of your face dark, rosacea somewhat does the same. The marks are more red with rosacea, that is the main distinction. It's natural for people's faces to turn red from time to time. Natural causes include a spike in adrenaline levels. It can also be caused by dilation of the arteries when you eat something really spicy. 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. 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.

Laser treatments are often used to treat many types of skin conditions, including rosacea. 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. 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. 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. Otherwise, stay away from it. Using a mild facial cleaner is a good idea when someone has symptoms from rosacea. Rosacea is not as likely to get worse if the face is kept as clean as possible. 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.

People of any ancestral background can be afflicted by rosacea, making their lives less than optimal. Patients can have specific treatments that are for their exact type of rosacea affliction designed for them by their dermatologist. 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. 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.
