Seborrheic Dermatitis: Are You Also Suffering From This Skin Condition?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 by admin

As if it weren’t bad enough to have to deal with the symptoms of rosacea, a recent survey by the National Rosacea Society found that 25% of those suffering from rosacea also suffered from a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. Even though these two skin conditions are unrelated, a recent study of rosacea sufferers showed an alarming statistic with 26% of sufferers also experiencing facial seborrheic dermatitis and 28% showing that they were suffering from this same condition of the scalp.

You may wonder what this skin condition is? Well, it is defined as a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder which is not harmful or contagious. It is however uncomfortable and unsightly. It is common for this condition to have extended periods of inactivity followed by flare-ups.

What Are The Symptoms?

The symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis include both scaling and redness of the skin. It commonly looks like powdery or greasy scales on the facial area or other areas of the body. In either case, this skin condition is accompanied by a burning sensation. The most common areas that are affected are the creases around the nose, eyebrows, outside ear canal, and the forehead.

In many cases this form of dermatitis develops on the scalp, with the symptoms ranging from a mild case of dandruff to thicker scaly patches accompanied by an itching or burning sensation.

So, if you find that your rosacea condition is being aggravated by additional symptoms as discussed above, then you may very well be suffering from seborrheic dermatitis and should discuss this with your dermatologist.

Does Heredity Play A Part In The Development of Rosacea?

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 by admin

Though there is no conclusive evidence that proves that rosacea is passed from generation to generation, survey results published by the National Rosacea Society certainly seems to suggest that it may play a part.

It was reported that almost 52% of survey respondents (600 person sample size) acknowledged that someone in their family had or presently have rosacea. More interesting was that of those who confirmed that they did have a relative with rosacea that most indicated that it was a person in the immediate family.

Based on the high percentage of sufferers with relatives and family members also experiencing rosacea symptoms, it would seem that there is a high probability that heredity has a part to play in a person’s development of rosacea. So, if you are concerned about developing this skin condition or are experiencing symptoms, you may need to look no further than your family members for confirmation!

Incidence Of Rosacea Symptoms Increase Dramatically

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 by admin

The results of recent studies have revealed that the incidence of rosacea is on the rise. The National Rosacea Society is now estimating that over 16 million Americans are suffering from the symptoms and effects of rosacea, with millions more being in temporary remission. While these statistics are shocking in themselves, they most likely underestimate the true number of rosacea sufferers.

Even with the rosacea treatments and proper skin care having helped millions of Americans with their symptoms, the increase in the aging population has resulted in an increase of this chronic skin condition over the past 10 years. Keep in mind that rosacea can occur at any age, but it is most prevalent for those reaching middle age. So, what we are most likely seeing is the massive Baby Boom generation starting to affect the statistics. And if you are a fair skinned individual, your incident rate will be even higher than the general population.

Previous estimates by the National Rosacea Society had put the number of rosacea sufferers in the U. S. at 14 million people.

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.
