The treatment for Rosacea
There is no known cure for Rosacea. Your doctor will help you identify the things that worsen the symptoms. These are the so-called triggering agents. Avoiding these triggers can help prevent or reduce the symptoms of Rosacea.
Here are some steps that can help soften or prevent symptoms:
- Avoid exposure to the sun.
- Use sunscreen every day.
- Avoid excess activity in hot water.
- Try to reduce stress. Try relaxation exercises, yoga, or other techniques that will help.
- Limit spicy foods, alcohol, and hot drinks.
Their appearance may vary from person to person, just as the triggers may relate to aspects such as wind, hot showers, living instead of low temperatures, unique skin-use products, and physical activity, among other agents.
Some prescription antibiotics are to be taken orally (such as tetracycline, minocycline, or doxycycline) or applied to the skin (such as metronidazole) and can control skin conditions such as acne. Other drugs (retinol or isotretinoin), which are similar to vitamin A, are more powerful alternatives that the doctor can take into account, in addition to following the treatment under the supervision of the professional.
The Rosacea is not acne and will not improve with standard acne treatments. In severe cases, laser surgery helps minimize redness. The option of surgery to remove inflamed tissue from the nose can also improve symptoms and appearance.
