In the past when studies about Rosacea weren’t very efficient all people with a red face were supposed to be alcoholics; this unreal and naïve concept usually succeeded to affect some of the patient’s social activities. Nowadays it is well known that people with red chicks, nose and chin suffer from Rosacea.

Described in medical books as a chronicle disorder of the skin, Rosacea is also called Acne Rosacea and shows symptoms like visible blood vessels on the nose, sun-burn-like redness of face, tickled facial skin and sometimes pimples. Although Rosacea mostly occurs on the face, it can also affect your neck and your upper chest area. Canadians, usually around the age of 30 to 60 are greatly affected by this kind of inflammation of their face skin. The most susceptible to develop this illness are persons who blush easily and the ones that turn red after they eat spicy food or drink alcohol.

Even though most case sceneries are detected in women who are more likely to make Rosacea, it was proven that the worst cases were detected in men.

Prevention of further damage to the facial skin can only be achieved through a long-lasing treatment with natural products, as there is no pharmacological cure for Rosacea. In order to keep your skin in good conditions, you must daily use moisturizers containing Metronidazole which acts as an antibiotic as well as an anti-inflammatory substance.

In the last few years the most popular product anti-Rosacea has been Rosasol that mixes Metronidazole and the SPF-15 sun filter. Because the treatment for Rosacea will need to continue for a longer period of time it is highly recommended to use pills containing tetracycline which also acts as an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory substance. In severe cases of Rosacea a long-term treatment with Accutane will provide an improvement both in the appearance and in the simptomatology of Rosacea. It brings inflammation under control and improves the self-esteem of the patient.

Some cases of Rosacea deal with permanent destruction of the skin and a persisting redness on chicks and chin as well as disrupted blood vessels on the face. One or two sessions of laser and IPL “intense pulsed light” can usually correct the disruptions of the facial vessels. Also damages caused by the sun and facial redness can be cured through 3-6 sessions with IPL, separated by 3-4 weeks. Another benefit of IPL is the fact that persons who used to blush very often begin to notice an improvement.

Although Rosacea was proven not to be hereditary, studies were made according to which it can be inherited. So if you have elder close relatives with redness of the face, pimples and thickened skin you should consider seeing a doctor for being able to get help as soon as possible.
