Chronic redness of the face is usually diagnosed as Rosacea. The condition normally starts midface across the nose and checks and sometimes includes bumps described as papules or pustules. In more severe cases, it may extend to the forehead and chin and eventually lead to a swollen red (lobulated) nose, a condition known as rhinophyma, common in men. Rosacea occurs less commonly on the neck, chest, scalp and ears. Sometimes, dilation of superficial blood vessels or telangiectasia also occurs. The condition is more common in females of northwestern European ancestry. However, it can affect both sexes and most ethnicities, commonly striking adults between the ages of 30-60. Because it runs in families, genetics are considered a component. Menopause is also considered a risk factor for women with a tendency to blush easily. Doctors consider Rosacea harmless, unless the eyes are affected, but sufferers disagree. Causes of the condition have been correlated with elevated levels of the peptide cathelicidin, stratum corneum enzymes, and intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Some suffers of Rosacea have been found to have increased numbers of demodex mites.
contributor is heat. Sunlight, hot weather, warm baths, exercise, and hot beverages have all been known to trigger symptoms. Stress, alcohol, wind, humidity and spicy foods, are also attributed to outbreaks. Spicy foods are thought to increase histamine levels along with red wine, aged cheeses, yogurt, beer, and bacon. People who have flushing associated with histamines are thought to have histamine intolerance. The use of antihistamines for Rosacea has never been proven, however people with histamine intolerance report improvements for flushing symptoms with anti-histamine use. There is no known cure for Rosacea. Laser treatments and vitamin A based pharmaceuticals have been known to reduce Rosacea symptoms for periods. Pulsed-light therapies and photodynamic therapy have also been used with some success. Since there is a known overlap between Rosacea and normal acne, the treatments tend to overlap. Oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, and sulfa-based face washes are sometimes prescribed for Rosacea sufferers. However, Rosacea skin tends to be more sensitive than that of common acne. Short-term topical cortisone (steroid) creams may be used occasionally to reduce inflammation. There is a risk of causing a Rosacea flare-up by using topical steroids; prolonged use can also cause irritation. The dilated blood vessels, or telangiectasia, can be treated in a doctor’s office with an electric needle. The use of physical sun barriers like hats, and zinc and titanium sunscreens help most people control sun triggered symptoms. Avoiding products with perfumes, dyes, alcohol and preservatives has been known reduce symptoms. Using natural anti-inflammatory ingredients can also calm sensitive Rosacea skin.
Hot or spicy foods that can cause facial flushing should be avoided, along with alcohol, caffeine, and other substances that have a vasodilating effect. Some practitioners recommend vitamin B supplements, but caution against high doses of niacin because it is a vasodilator that can cause facial flushing and thus tends to worsen the condition. Rosacea patients have been found to produce less gastric acid and lipase, a digestive enzyme. Therefore, some nutritionalists prescribe hydrochloric acid capsules and enzyme supplements such as pancreatin. However, their effectiveness has not been substantiated. Patients on antibiotic therapy are advised to eat yogurt with live culture or take acidophilus tablets to prevent an overgrowth of yeast. B-Vitamins The use of large doses of B vitamins has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of rosacea, with riboflavin appearing to be the chief dynamic. There is a small organism – a skin mite named Demodex folliculorum – that has been considered a contributing factor in rosacea. It is interesting to note that researchers were able to infect the skin of riboflavin deficient rats with Demodex, but not the skin of normal rats. This mechanism may be a factor in the clinical improvement noted with B vitamin treatment. Natural Remedies Often the harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients that are contained in today’s skin care products do more damage to your skin than you may realize. Herbal or holistic remedies, on the other hand have carefully selected natural ingredients to improve the appearance of the skin and prevent future break outs. Two well known herbs such as Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) and Lavender Essential Oil have wonderful healing powers attributed to their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic actions. Other herbs such as Arctium lappa and Bulbine frutescence have been used widely to treat skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, Apparatus linearis (Rooibos) an indigenous shrub that hails from South Africa is known worldwide for its anti-oxidant and healing properties as well as its soothing and healing effect on the skin.
