Anyone have rosacea and knows how to control it?

I do not have rosacea myself but my grandmother does and here are a few ideas that might help you control yours. Avoid hot tea/coffee, spicy foods, excessive prescription steroids, any form of stress, harsh soaps/creams, and hot baths or hot tubs. The reason one persons rosacea flares up is almost always different for the next person.......watch what you are doing or consuming the next time you have a flare up and simply try to cut back on or eliminate that from your diet/routine. Makeup can be an effective aid in rosacea, will not make it worse, and even some male rosacea sufferers use a bit. A slightly more olive color than usual helps to hide the redness. As i am not personally living with it this is all I can tell you ...based on what I have seen my grandmother do.Anyone have rosacea and knows how to control it?
Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin disorder of an unknown cause. The first thing you should do is make an appointment with a dermatologist so they can evaluate whether it is in fact rosacea as there are many other conditions that can mimic the symptoms of rosacea. Your dermatologist will be able to assist you in choosing the right treatment.





There are several manifestations of rosacea with many people having symptoms of more than one. Some of the symptoms can be: facial flushing, persistent redness, broken blood vessels (telangiectasia), papules %26amp; pustules, lumpy-bumpy skin, facial swelling, burning sensations, pain sensations, ocular rosacea (watery %26amp; bloodshot eyes, foreign body sensation, burning or stinging, dryness, itching, light sensitivity, blurred vision), under-eye veins and rhinophyma (thickening and disfiguration of the nose skin).





Sometimes the advice people will give for treating the redness and flushing is to avoid the triggers. I can assure you that no one with rosacea has ever said that. There are so many triggers, (hot and cold environments, hot spicy food, laughter, stress, emotional embarrassment, etc) and those very factors are things we do everyday. Furthermore, the flushing can be brought on spontaneously. The most effective treatment for rosacea varies greatly by person and unfortunately, this is not an easy condition for most doctors to treat. Therapies such as oral and topical antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, beta-blockers, Clonidine, Metrogel, Noritate, psychotherapy, and low dose Accutane have all been used and benefited some people. There is also laser treatment available for more severe cases that don鈥檛 respond to traditional treatment, although lasers are not very helpful for many people with the flushing and redness symptoms so it is important to do your research first.





The good news is that although it may be painful and annoying to have rosacea, there are many others that have what you have and there are also many treatments to improve (BUT NOT CURE) rosacea. I wish you the best of luck.Anyone have rosacea and knows how to control it?
