Are Natural Rosacea Cures The Answer?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 by admin

It seems that rosacea affects more women than men, with a higher occurrence of the disease in the middle-aged group. Thus, the majority of patients are people between 30 and 60, but here we ought to add that black skin is more difficult to diagnose. Yet, there is not enough clinical evidence to support the idea that acne rosacea affects fair-skinned people most of the times.

What Does Rosacea Look Like?

The acne blemishes specific to the disease are most often distributed in the nose area, on the cheeks and chin, but the central forehead doesn’t get spared either. Although the oily appearance of the skin makes acne rosacea resemble acne vulgaris, differences do exist. In traditional acne forms, comedones have no limitation of extent, whereas with rosacea they don’t even appear in the flush areas. Moreover, rosacea is characterized by hypertrophy which is not common with acne vulgaris. Viewing rosacea pictures of the different symptoms can offer more insights into these common symptoms.

Treating Rosacea

Since rosacea is a chronic disease its evolution usually expands over several years marked by critical episodes characterized by inflammation. Corticosteroids are commonly prescribed for the alleviation of the symptoms, but they are not suitable for long-term therapy because of the risk to cause an atrophy or permanent vaso-dilation of the tissues. Most doctors will therefore choose to recommend the systemic treatment instead of the topical one. This is why natural rosacea cures can prove to be a better treatment strategy for long term use.

Is It Rosacia, Roscea or Rosacea?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by admin

Not surprisingly, the skin affliction called “rosacea” is is at the top of the list for incorrectly spelled skin afflictions in the field of medicine.  It is incorrectly called rosacae, roseca, roseaca, rosacia and a host of other names, but the correct spelling of this socially disruptive skin disorder is r-o-s-a-c-e-a.

You will also hear this skin affliction called acne rosacea because its symptoms (i.e. pimples, pustules, whiteheads) closely resembling the widespread skin affliction called Acne Vulgaris, which translated is ‘common acne.’  However rosacia is something totally different .  This skin disorder primarily attacks the facial skin and is characterized by times of skin aggravation followed by a period of remission.  A primary difference from acne is that rosacea generally begins after the age of 30 and can be “caught” by men and women well into their late 40’s.

Most Popular Misspellings of The Term Rosacea

Our studies have shown that an amazing 10% of the searches performed on leading search engines by men and women searching for more information about Rosacea are misspelled versions of the exact medical name.  Compiling a list of the highest incident mis-spellings, the search engines have reported the following terms being entered:  rosacia, rosecea, roseacea, roscea, roseaca.

These inaccurate spellings are not the exception.  In fact, they are entered into the largest search engine between 325 times for the highest incident of mis-spelled terms (rosacia) down to 33 times for the lowest (rosacae) on an average day.   Even as you might expect that the big search engines don’t encourage misspellings, you will find a number of pages utilizing these misspelled terms to try to support the men and women with rosacea who just can’t get the spelling quite right.

Dealing With Rosacea

Despite how you spell out “Rosacea”, the list of symptoms are not consistent from person to person.  Even though each man or woman suffering with this skin disease can have slightly different symptoms and various degrees of severity, the disease can quite often be diagnosed easily by an experienced dermatologist.  The leading symptoms can be identified as a reddening of the cheeks, chin, nose or forehead.  The good news is that the symptoms are transient and periods of remission generally follow exacerbations .

The truth is that there is no known solution for this skin disease.  However, with appropriate treatment and changes to certain habits, this disease can effectively be controlled.   So, whether we spell it rosacia, roscea, or roseca, the symptoms and social effects will be the same.

What Is The Difference Between Adult Acne and Acne Rosacea?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by admin

If you thought pimples were only for kids, get ready for a surprise! Many adults suffer from acne in their late twenties and thirties, even for people who had never experienced the symptoms of acne in their teenage years.

When considering adult acne, there are 2 types - the most  widespread form called Acne Vulgaris, and the less known form known as Acne Rosacea.

Studies have shown that almost 80% of the US people with ages between 12 years old and 24 years old have suffered from some form of  Acne Vulgaris.  Surprisingly, a paltry 5% of these people, or 13 million people, experience the aggravation and “rosy” facial skin of Acne Rosacea.

What Is Acne Rosacea?

Acne Rosacea is a skin disease that is usually associated with the cheeks, chin, nose and less often, the eyes. It most commonly inflicts damage to men and women between 30 and 60. The disorder is characterized by redness and flushing of the cheeks and chin, pimples and a pattern of broken blood vessels .

At first, an individual’s cheeks will show a blush or flush appearance very easily. However, as the acne rosacea becomes more developed, redness will become much more visible around the area of the nose, and then expand to include a greater area of the face. In the more serious cases of this skin condition might experience enlarged oil glands under the surface of the skin on the nose that can develop into an enlarged and bulbous red nose.  Taking a look at pictures of rosacea can offer a good visual image of the symptoms of this skin condition.

What Is The Best Treatment For Rosacea?

The good news is that the skin disease called Acne Rosacea isn’t medically dangerous.  The downside is that this condition is also incurable.  However, with a preventive program using a natural treatment for rosacea and lifestyle modifications, it can be controlled.   A person is wise to treat rosacea with an effective rosacea cream to limit the sensitivity of the skin and minimize symptoms.

Rosacea Flare-Ups Happen More Frequently Than You Think

Saturday, March 28th, 2009 by admin

If you know anything about rosacea, you are aware that this skin condition is typified by flare-ups and remissions.  This fact has been confirmed by recent studies conducted by the National Rosacea Society of over 950 rosacea sufferers.

The interesting fact coming out of this study was that over 55% of the survey takers stated that they experienced a flare-up or increased symptoms at least once a month.  Of this group, 24% claimed that they were having flare-ups every few days; 15% once per week; and the remainder were once a month.

Another 25% of survey participants revealed that their flare-ups occurred only every few months.

How Long Do Flare-Ups Last?

This is the real question that most rosacea patients should be concerned with.  If you only incur one outbreak per month but it lasts for several weeks, you are far worse off than an individual who experiences a weekly flare-up for less than a day.  The statistics from the study were very revealing in this area.  The breakout is as follows:

33% - More than a day

21% - Less than a day

21% - More than a week

14% - Several weeks to over a month

11% - Other

How Intense Are The Rosacea Flare-Ups?

The intensity of a sufferer’s flare-up is another key point that must be considered when evaluating the type of treatment that is appropriate for you.  This study showed that over 50% classified their rosacea flare-ups as being moderate in intensity, while 12% believed them severe.  A total of 32% felt that their outbreaks were in the mild range.

So, how did the respondents control their rosacea symptoms?  83% stated that rosacea treatments combined with avoiding their rosacea triggers effectively controlled their symptoms.  Seeing that there is no cure for this skin disorder, it would certainly appear that a proactive approach to controlling symptoms is your best method to address your rosacea flare-ups.
