1. As you may or may not be aware, scientifically spoken rosacea cannot be cured. Please do not panic, because indeed treatments of rosacea is possible in forms of symptoms control, reduction & prevention.
2. The next thing, you have to do before you go to your pharmacy and buy the most expensive cure program is to correctly assess your diagnosis. How was it conducted? Who did it? How and when?
3. Let´s say you have had an accurate diagnosis. Meaning you know 100% you have rosacea (I don´t know what rosacea is? Read this first). It´s time to separate the truth from the facts. Rosacea is of course not contagious and cannot be transmitted by whatsoever. Not bacteria, skin contact or inhaling. Antibiotics as a rosacea treatment cannot be brought in as argument for taking them. Their advantage may lie in their usage against inflammatory skin effect.
4. When does Rosacea begins? The origins of rosacea are unclear in terms of general conclusions. The triggers may lie in hereditary from someone in your family in the past. As said above it is not transmittable in form of bacteria an the such. Research is unclear to what degree inheritance play its role in triggering it. Other typical triggers are weather extremes for the sensitive dry skin often common with rosacea skin disorder. Too cold or too warm temperature may trigger it as well. A healthy diet or better the lack of it may trigger redness skin. But beware that even healthy foods or drinks may be contra effective to the individual, you need to assess on a personal level. Additional causes can be stress, anxiety and overall general well being that can cause these skin symptoms.
5. “My child or teenager has rosacea“. Well, it is still unclear in how far, children too develop rosacea skin, apart from documented ocular rosacea, which is a rosacea affecting the eyes. As we all know Teenagers do develop acne and this may not be confused with acne rosacea as a result of rosacea skin disorder. However, teenager may too develop as a result of inheritance early signs of rosacea that should be treated accordingly after a dermatologist visit or an eye specialist in case of ocular rosacea.
6. What if I don´t treat it? Rosacea diagnosis at early stages is the best thing in this bad situation to happen to you or your relative. The earlier the correct diagnosis the better the treatment afterwards. Not taking any additional steps in eliminating it, can result in deterioration of the skin, i.e. swollen nose,extreme redness, flushing, bumps and itching to the extend of uncontrollable. You want to prevent that. Another negative side effect may be the development of additional skin diseases as a result of the week protection due to untreated redness skin. I am talking here about severe things like skin cancer. Although there is no direct connection so far proved, it is clear that a healthier skin is more likely to deal with skin cancer symptoms than a severe damaged one. Please therefore take it serious, without panic and visit your dermatologist for professional diagnosis and read information regularly on this case, either here at this rosacea information blog or somewhere else, where you can knowledge yourself enough to make an informed decision whatsoever.
7. “I am using medication, but my blood vessels do not disappear”. In this case everything is fine, your redness is moving back and itching or flushing are pushed back as well. Now the visibility of your blood vessels is a consequence of the medication. You can either use make-up or undergo a laser therapy to remove the visibility of them. Here you can find more about laser therapy.
8. In case you develop an anti-bacteria resistance as a result of using antibiotics against rosacea you may consider using natural herbal medication instead. Usually only a tiny group of people ever develop anti-bacteria resistance when treated with rosacea antibiotics medication. Additionally, you can use new microbial resistance medication just developed for oral antibiotic which contain a lesser risk level. Natural rosacea medication itself in unclear so far, how it individually works in terms of effectiveness solution providing for rosacea patients.
9. Now after all the information above, one more thing: The best care for your skin is to take care of your skin daily. Cleansing every day start is a great beginning. A soap that is rather mild than , i.e. grainy, might be helpful as well on top of that.Furthermore, use something smooth to wash your face and do not take harsh things like sponges or even brushes. Not hot not warm water is the next step when washing your skin. Repeat that process a couple of times before drying it completely with a cotton towel. The next thing you have to do here, is very important, please air dry your skin for some minutes before using topical medication. And lastly, in case of make up application to your skin, take at least 8-10 minutes before you apply it. This way you allow your skin to absorb the previously applyied medication to work.
10. Last, but not least, the most important thing in skin care products is that it really protects you from, let´s say sunlight by using a skin care product with an spf of at least 15. Surgical methods of rosacea treatments like laser therapy are popular too, but first inform yourself here, if it is really necessary and affordable for you as stated under point number 2 in this article. Other technique´s of rosacea treatment include steroids, so called topical steroids. Again, this method does have side effects and should be double-checked before use. Your overall lifestyle as indicated in many of the articles here, may be the key to your rosacea treatment. Avoiding unnecessary lifestyle behaviour may increase your chances of a flawless skin. Sunblocks and skin care products without irritating ingredients may round up the treatment approach. Be consistent and patient.
