How To Get Rid Of Acne Redness - Rosacea
By Meredith Toole
Rosacea, is a chronic, hyperemic, dermatologic disorder of unknown origin. It is characterized by persistent facial erythema (redness) usually on the central of the face like your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin, flushing and telangiectasia. The so-called flushing and blushing diathesis promotes rosacea. Autonomic dysfunction (cranial nerve V) may lead to a persistent vasodilation and redness. It is widely known that rosacea is common to people in their thirties and forties and it most likely to occur in women.
Patients with rosacea often flush. Longer flushes frequently occur after exercise and ingestion of alcohol or spicy foods. And because of the additional signs of edema, papules and pustules, rosacea often resembles acne clinically. They usually have rough, scaly skin.
Since the skin of people who has resacea becomes very irritated easily, irritating substances such as salicylic acid, sulfur and fatty ointments should be avoided. The person itself should likewise veer away from hot drinks, exposure to steam and alcohol consumption. This disease is, however incurable, a number of effective therapies allow doctors to successfully manage the condition.
Rosacea often proves difficult to treat. Marked reduction of elimination of alcoholic and hot beverages may be helpful. Treatment for redness, flushing and edema are generally unsatisfactory, thus patients with these components may benefit from cover-up cosmetics including green-tinted ones. Application of cool water compresses, cool packs or retreat to a cooler environment may all help.
Treatment of papules and pustules is generally effective. The mainstay of therapy is systemic tetracycline taken for several weeks or a few months until remission is nearly complete. Also is the topical metronidazole is very beneficial when applied alone or in conjunction with systemic tetracycline therapy.
