Rosacea Treatment Sydney

This is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in the face. Sometimes it appears alongside small bumps filled with pus. Because of the similarity shared with acne, one might be confused with the other.

Just like Melasma or Chloasma, this skin condition is common in women and people with lighter skin. Regardless of age, rosacea can affect both men and women. While there is no cure for rosacea at the moment, there are treatments that can help control and reduce its impact. Of course, this is possible when you work with a specialist who is well versed in several ways of treating different forms of rosacea.

Signs and Symptoms

Rosacea is characterized by small red bumps appearing on central parts of the face such as nose and cheek. These bumps might resemble acne and sometimes contain pus. Depending on the type of Rosacea, a patient might experience eye irritation, including burning eyes, dry eyes, and excessive tearing. When left unaddressed, Rosacea can become severe, leading to enlargement of the nose (Rhinophyma) and thickening of the nose’s skin.

Causes

Though the precise cause of rosacea is unknown, the combination of hereditary and environmental triggers could play a role in its development. If the condition runs in your family genes, then you are more likely to become a candidate. Also, excessive sunlight, spicy foods, temperature extremes, and vasodilators are other factors that may bring forth the flare-ups. For example, vasodilators – drugs that dilate blood vessels – can cause excess blood to settle beneath the skin, which then leads to the patchy redness associated with rosacea.

Prevention

The psychological stress associated with rosacea can just be overwhelming, especially when the flare-ups keep reoccurring. In this case, knowing the triggers and preventive measures would prove helpful. You might be able to lessen the frequency and intensity of rosacea by avoiding temperature extremes, spicy foods, and certain alcoholic beverages.

Also, maintaining a good skincare regimen with gentle skincare products and procedures can prevent the dry, rough, and scaly symptoms of rosacea. Topical products such as toners, exfoliating agents, and astringents can just be too harsh for rosacea skin, thereby such products should be avoided. When using topical skin treatment, keep in mind to avoid synthetic products, which could cause skin irritation or damaging the skin.

Besides, try contacting your skin care specialist to find out more about drugs that dilate blood vessels, so as to avoid them.

Diagnosis and Treatment
