Rosacea symptoms
Rosacea can affect many people differently. Below are
the more common elements of the disease. If you're concerned
that you may be afflicted by one or more of these symptoms,
you should consider talking to your doctor.
Flushing/Blushing: Those with rosacea often note frequent
flushing. This can occur after physical exercise, or after a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Sometimes, a slight embarassment causes a patient to flush easily. This often occurs in the early stages of rosacea.
Facial Redness: The most common symptom of rosacea;
the face takes on a red colour, especially in the cheeks.
Small Bumps and Pimples: Small bumps on the skin may resemble adult acne.
Visible Blood Vessels: Small veins become visible on the face as the disease advancens and worsens.
Rosacea Treatment
Every patient must be treated differently, because
the disease affects each person in a different way.
Mild cases may be treated with topical creams or antibiotics.
Laser therapy can be extremely effective in reducing
the redness and removing small facial veins. Often,
following the control of the disease with laser, topical
medications are used to maintain control.
Rosacea Triggers
It is extremely important for Rosacea sufferers to
identify and reduce or eliminate the triggers that make
their disease worse. But doing this, and by following
a regular maintenance program with topical medication
or laser therapy, the disease can be very effectively
controlled.
More common triggers include:
- Sun
- Stress
- Heat
- Wind
- Exercise
- Spicy Food
- Alcohol
- Cold Weather
- Saunas
- High Humidity
- Cosmetics
- Some medications
