Secrets of Rosacea Skin Care
Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that produces redness, tiny grains and ruptured blood vessels, usually in the middle of the face.
There is a thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose, which acquires a red and bulbous; this way is called rhinophyma. Sometimes rosacea can appear on the trunk, arms and legs instead of in your face.
Its cause is unknown. The disease usually presents in middle age and is more common in people of clear complexion. Alcoholic people are susceptible to rosacea, including rhinophyma. The use of topical corticosteroids aggravate rosacea. This disease is easily recognized, although sometimes it may seem to acne and other skin disorders.
Should avoid foods that cause dilation of blood vessels in the skin (food with lots of spices, alcohol, coffee and soft drinks with caffeine). Certain oral antibiotics improve rosacea, tetracyclines are often the most effective and those that produce lower side effects. The antibiotics that are applied to the skin, such as metronidazole gel, are also effective. Antibiotic treatment of severe rhinophyma gives uncertain results. This form of the disease may require surgical intervention.
