How can i treat Rosacea?

Once Rosacea is acquired, it is important to seek early treatment. Individuals who seek care for their rosacea on cyberspace and from alternative care practitioners usually end up with permanent disfiguring scars. All individuals who have Rosacea should understand from the onset that there is no cure for Rosacea. There is no medication, lotion, potion, herb, nutrient or physician that can cure Rosacea. Rosacea is best treated by a skin physician who has experience with the disorder.

Every single treatment available today can only control the symptoms. In general, medications used for Rosacea are used to control facial redness, eye irritation, and pimples. No matter what treatment one undertakes for Rosacea, it is essential to avoid or control factors that trigger skin to flush.

What are common triggers to avoid?

Common triggers that are known to aggravate Rosacea include:

- Exposure to extremes of temperatures (either too hot
or too cold)
- Alcohol consumption
- eating hot and spicy foods
- Intense exercise under humid conditions
- Stress (both physical and emotional).

How do I know which triggers worsen my rosacea?

The only way to identify the triggers is to keep a small diary and write down when the episodes occur and what you think was the most likely cause. Over a few weeks or months, you will have a good idea what the trigger factors are. Once you have identified the factors, all you need to do is avoid them or limit the exposure. A lot of clinical evidence reveals that mild to moderate Rosacea can be successful treated with this simple method.
