Rosacea is uncureable I'm told, but what can I do to avoid it.?

Avoid the triggers that cause the redness, such as spicy foods, sun (use sunblock), alcohol, caffeine, and anything else you notice causes you to flare up. They will vary by individual. I've also found a fantastic, over the counter product called Calm, Cool and Corrected. It's made by DermaDoctor. You can get it from either Nordstroms or Sephora, or their website directly. Here's a link. http://www.dermadoctor.com/product.asp?p鈥?/a>


I've been using this stuff for about 6 months now, and my face looks better than it has in years. About the only way I'd get it any better is to have the lazer treatment done, and I can't afford that.Rosacea is uncureable I'm told, but what can I do to avoid it.?
Lots of information here that may help

I suffer from Rosacea too, and I take long term antibiotics to stop it attacking my nose. They work well but can only be obtained from the Doctors
DONT EAT CHOCOLAT ITS EVIL FOR IT! ITS LIKE SENDING A FAT KID TO BOOT CAMP FOR THE SUMMER NOT HAPPY!';
';Oral tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline) and topical antibiotics such as metronidazole are usually the first line of defence prescribed by doctors to relieve papules, pustules, inflammation and some redness.[5] Oral antibiotics may also help to relieve symptoms of ocular rosacea. If papules and pustules persist, then sometimes isotretinoin can be prescribed.[6] Isotretinoin has many side effects and is normally used to treat severe acne but in low dosages is proven to be effective against papulopustular and phymatous rosacea.





Flushing and blushing can be reduced with a centrally-acting 伪-2 agonist clonidine. Clonidine has side effects of drowsiness and lowered blood pressure. Monoxidine can be used as an alternative to clonidine as it has less side effects but most people find to be less effective. Beta-blockers like propanolol are similar to 伪-2 agonists but work better for anxiety and chronic social blushing than general flushing triggers. If flushing occurs with red wine consumption and with other foods containing high amounts of histamine then antihistamines such as cetirizine or loratadine may help.





People who develop infections of the eyelids must practice frequent eyelid hygiene. Daily scrubbing the eyelids gently with diluted baby shampoo or an over-the-counter eyelid cleaner and applying warm (but not hot) compresses several times a day is recommended.





Dermatological vascular laser (single wavelength) or Intense Pulsed Light (broad spectrum) machines offer one of the best treatments for rosacea.[7] They use light to penetrate the epidermis to target the capillaries in the dermis layer of the skin. The light is absorbed by oxy-hemoglobin which heat up causing the capillary walls to heat up to 70潞C, damaging them, causing them to be absorbed by the body's natural defense mechanism.





CO2 lasers can be used to remove excess tissue caused by phymatous rosacea. CO2 lasers emit a wavelength that is absorbed directly by the skin. The laser beam can be focused into a thin beam and used as a scalpel or defocused and used to vaporise tissue.';

Can asians suffer from rosacea ?

my skin colour is a light browny yellowy complexion, but my skin sometimes changes when i exercise or when i am hot ppl tell me that my cheeks go like a dark red colour, like colour of blood...also i have quite red lips...and also my skin colour changes when my face is in contact with air and wind....Can asians suffer from rosacea ?
You should see you GP to find out. S/he can give


a proper diagonsis.





I am not white, but I am half white and my mother is extremely pale like an albino so my skin even though light brown gets sun burnt and goes red very easily so you never know. Even so, it is very rare for non-whites to suffer from rosacea. I don't have it just very sensistive skin. If you look it up on wiki you'll see that Mariah Carey is a sufferer - and she isn't white.





All the bestCan asians suffer from rosacea ?
yeah they can but if you're just turning red when exercising and stuff that's because of increased blood flow. it happens to everyone it might just be more noticeable in you. rosacea is a skin disorder that is pretty permanent
yes,but it sounds like you have something other than rosaccea to me
yes

I think i have rosacea, does anyone have it and how can i tell and treat it?

* Rosacea causes erythema (redness) that looks like flushing or blushing of the face or neck. The flushing occurs when blood flow increases the amount of blood flow through small blood vessels and the vessels expand to accommodate this flow. The redness initially may come and go but becomes more permanent as the disease progresses.


* Telangiectasia (red lines) - Many people also have enlarged blood vessels under the skin, which are noticeable as red lines through the skin, especially when the overall redness fades.


* Facial Burning, Stinging or Itching -flushing attacks can cause uncomfortable physical symptoms, such as facial burning, stinging or itching.


* Oedema (facial swelling). Sometimes soft facial swelling may last for days when the erythema flares up. Persisting hard facial oedema can also occur.


* Dome shaped small lumpy red pimples (papules) - The pimples of rosacea, which often occur as the disease progresses, are different from those of acne because blackheads and whiteheads are not present. Some of these pimples contain pus (pustules) and appear as small white bumps. Left untreated larger nodules can develop.


* Many people develop related problems affecting the eye- ocular rosacea. This can affect over 50% of people and can range from mild to severe. Eye problems are unlikely to develop in people taking antibiotic tablets for rosacea.





Symptoms include:





* Blepharitis, (inflamed, dry and crusty eyelids), and


* Conjunctivitis, (Gritty feeling eyes)





More serious problems arise, if left untreated including:





* Iritis, (painful inflammation of the iris), and


* Keratitis, (ulceration of the cornea).





In a few people, especially older men, the nose becomes enlarged, bumpy, red or purple and swollen (Rhinophyma).





As rosacea affects the face, it can be associated with anxiety and lack of confidence and may lead to psychological problems and depression.I think i have rosacea, does anyone have it and how can i tell and treat it?
I have it, and in the Uk I have been told not to wear make-up or use cosmetics that contain oil of any kind. Clinique do a range like this, but there are probably cheaper ranges as well, since the condition is becoming quite common.





You should try to avoid red wine, Coke and spicy foods as well, apparently.I think i have rosacea, does anyone have it and how can i tell and treat it?
i have it too, it is genetic!
My mother and grandfather have this (odds are I'll develop it later in life then) and they use teatree oil and other natural remedies to augment tablets the doctor pescribes.
It is treatable by oral antibiotics and topical metronidazole for few weeks with the help of a physician.

And see a dermatologist.
It can't be cured. Look up some info on the internet.
I have it - what works for me is a course of Oral Antibiotics, and Daktacort cream to supress the redness

Can you please help with my Skincare Project?(Broken Capillaries, Pigmentation, Acne Vulgaris &Rosacea)?

Hi!I am currently doing a Beauty Specialist Course and for my 1st project I need to find and Salon, Medical, Alternative, Dietary or Herbal etc treatments for all the above conditions. There isn't much on the net especially for Pigmentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Can you please help with my Skincare Project?(Broken Capillaries, Pigmentation, Acne Vulgaris %26amp;Rosacea)?
Look up cosmetic laser treatments on the net. There are a variety of different laser treatments for the skin problems you have listed. Dependent on the type of laser it would be classed as either salon or medical. Also try looking up microdermabrasion. There's a book called ';Away With Wrinkles'; which is a good source of information (look it up on Amazon). Good luck with your project!Can you please help with my Skincare Project?(Broken Capillaries, Pigmentation, Acne Vulgaris %26amp;Rosacea)?

I belive that some medical tablets prescribed for acne can lead to depression and even suicide. Broken Cappillaries can be easily lasered away from a beauticians.
try body shop
You could try puritycosmetics.co.uk. They do a range of natural makeup that is good for your skin.

I have it too, and have just come across the above website. I haven't had time to try any of their suggestions yet, but several of them look promising so I'll begin trying them soon!





Good luck to you!What can help rosacea?!?!?!?!?
Unfortunately, not really. All of the truly effective treatments for rosacea require prescriptions. I would call and ask to see if there have been any cancellations or if they can squeeze you in sooner -- my recommendations for medications to ask for are as follows:


- Finacea (15% azelaic acid) -- this is best treatment


- Nicomide (oral medication for rosacea and acne)


(Nicomide is a good alternative to oral antibiotics)


- Plexion wash


- Salicylic acid, 2%, if your face is also oily (not if dry)


- Use a fragrance-free, sensitive-skin moisturizer


(this is if you have dry skin, not if you have oily skin)





Do *not* accept MetroGel. In a comparison study between MetroGel and Finacea, Finacea was demonstrated to be clearly superior to MetroGel. MetroGel is an antibiotic, and bacteria have been determined to not be the causative agent in rosacea. Good luck!
  • eye makeup
  • Rosacea treatment by doctor?

    Can you be diagnosed and given medication for rosacea by a regular doctor if your health insurance doesn't cover dermatologists?Rosacea treatment by doctor?
    Yes -- request Finacea. In some medical studies, it has been proven to be more effective than MetroGel/MetroCream (one of the more commonly-prescribed medications) which many patients find unsatisfactory. If you also have acne along with your rosacea, a prescription wash called Plexion can be very helpful. Plexion wash is helpful for both acne and rosacea. Oral doxycycline (100mg 2x/day) is also helpful for rosacea (and for acne). Rosacea treatment by doctor?
    Yes. I'm sure your primary care physician will be able to prescribe you some of the more common treatments for Rosacea . I bet if you brought in some info on other medications s/he would be will to give those a try too since most Rosacea treatments aren't to tricky to treat with.
