Rosacea – Effective Strategies for Managing Symptoms

What is rosacea of the title? 

Firstly, it's important to know that this isn't the same as common acne. Why it happens isn't clear. But, it seems like genetics and many other things can make it show up on the skin. This means it might run in families. Another reason could be an allergy. People with high blood pressure or stomach issues often get rosacea symptoms. It also happens a lot in people with oily and sensitive skin.

Rosacea Symptoms

What are the symptoms of rosacea? The first symptoms of rosacea are most common in people aged 30-40 years. It is a disease of mature people. It occurs much less frequently in other age groups. The first symptoms of rosacea include: erythema occurring on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Symptoms of rosacea are therefore easy to recognise, but most often underestimated and overlooked. In the initial stage of the disease, it is worth starting treatment so that the disease does not spread too quickly. In people aged 20-30, the first symptoms of rosacea include erythema rosacea. This is an erythema that appears in the central part of the face. It persists for more than 10 minutes. It often causes a sensation of heat and a burning sensation. If the erythema is not dealt with properly, it develops, followed by spider veins called telangiectasias. The blood vessels burst, creating a sort of spider web on the skin.

Further symptoms of rosacea are the appearance of furrows and pustules on the face. These are accompanied by previously formed erythema. Some patients also develop conjunctivitis and burning eyes. Some are also hypersensitive to light. The development of the disease also contributes significantly to a change in skin texture. The skin becomes uneven, lumpy and thickened. The skin changes are particularly noticeable around the eyes. The final stage of the disease is the formation of larger tumours on the face, which may even lead to facial deformities! Fortunately, very few patients reach this stage. In this stage, it mainly affects men. As you can see, the disease, which is acne rosacea, gives symptoms of various types. It is therefore worth keeping a close eye on one's body and reacting if something alarming is noticed on one's skin.

How to alleviate acne symptoms?

It is worth fighting rosacea using various methods. It is worth treating it with home methods. One of them is to use appropriate skin care. The skin should be properly moisturised and lubricated (as in the case of psoriasis). Any irritation that has already arisen should be soothed and the capillaries strengthened. It is forbidden to use scrubs, especially coarse scrubs, although acid or enzymatic scrubs are acceptable. Make-up should also not be removed by rubbing with a cotton swab; make-up remover oils are better. The cream for rosacea should be hypoallergenic. It is good for it to contain blood vessel-sealing vitamins K and C and sebum-regulating B3 or azelaic acid. And also many skin-soothing ingredients, e.g. aloe vera, panthenol, bisabolol, arginine. It is also worth protecting our body from the sun. If you decide to go outdoors, you should apply a sunscreen that blocks ultraviolet radiation beforehand. The cream should have an SPF of no less than 30, and preferably 50 SPF. It is advisable to support skin care from the inside with a diet rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 and -6 acids and products with skin-nourishing vitamins A, C, E, and to eliminate strong coffee and tea, alcohol and spicy spices and chocolate.

FAQ

1. Which skincare step is crucial to relieve acne symptoms?

Each skincare step has an important role and should not be overlooked. For rosacea, step one, cleansing, and step three, moisturiser and regulating cream, are key. We can use Acnerose cleanser and Acnerose day cream for these steps.

2. Which acne symptoms are easiest to control?

The causes of acne overlap (dilated capillaries cause swelling and lead to red inflammation, residual sebum dilates the capillaries), which is why, in the case of rosacea, it is crucial to act on all levels and combat each of the symptoms: both the overproduction of sebum and inflammation and the soothing of irritated blood vessels. It is impossible to control one while neglecting the other. What is needed is holistic care.

3. How to alleviate rosacea symptoms with diet?

A diet to prevent rosacea symptoms from worsening is largely a diet of elimination and avoidance of inadvisable products and replacing them with anti-inflammatory products.
