Rosacea Treatment:                                                                                                                

Many times, it’s the cumulative effect of the treatments you've been using to treat your rosacea that may actually be the aggravating source or factor of your current rosacea flare. Improving the skin involves a complete change in your thought processes and your approach to treating and controlling your rosacea. Total skin care and rosacea treatment involves much more than treating the damage that has already occurred. Effective rosacea treatment and skin care also involves preventive rosacea skin care. The use of sunscreens is just one of these preventive skin care measures.

Many rosacea sufferers have been frustrated for many years with unsuccessful or marginal results from rosacea skin care products. Antibiotics, retnoids, Accutane, and steroids have been a mainstay of rosacea treatment for years. Rosacea sufferers often find that these prescribed treatments and various rosacea laser treatments have not worked well in treating rosacea; also these past treatments for rosacea may have caused additional damage to the already sensitive rosacea skin. Oral and topical antibiotic rosacea treatments prescribed for adult acne rosacea can work for up to several months before the bacteria become immune to the antibiotic, causing the antibiotic to lose its effectiveness. Oral antibiotic treatments actually cause more rosacea red symptoms.

Prior to beginning any new rosacea treatment, the rosacea patient needs to allow the skin to heal from the effects of previous treatments or medications, which may have left the skin damaged and overly sensitive. The skin is able to begin to heal itself from the harmful effects of steroids, acids, retinoids, etc. soon after stopping the harmful skin care products. We recommend using only a gentle cleansing bar such as Cetaphil "gentle cleansing bar for dry sensitive skin", Dove Unscented cleansing bar or Neutrogena for dry, sensitive skin and following the cleansing with Jojoba Oil to soothe, calm and moisturize the skin.

In the treatment of rosacea, many issues seem to compound the treatment:

  1. Dermatologists in too much of a hurry to spend the time to answer your questions or explain the possible effects – good and bad – of the prescription you’ve just been handed.
  2. Conflicting reports of the value of one rosacea medication over another.
  3. Frustration at not having your symptoms taken seriously.
  4. Confusion when a rosacea product that appears to work well for everyone else fails to improve your rosacea and may have even made it worse.

    5. All this may leave you wondering, when did skin care become so complicated? How did my skin ever get so bad? Perhaps like so many things today, the answer is to return to the basics of rosacea skin care and treatment:

    1. Avoid the things that cause you irritation.
    2. “New and improved” often makes the skin burn, causing redness, and itching reactions.
    3. Add water to your skin, and to your body. Water is an essential component of life.
    4. Clean the skin with a cleanser that doesn’t promise to do anything but cleanse the skin: if it’s moisturizing, it’s not cleansing it’s applying a film; if it’s removing wrinkles, it’s not cleansing it’s exfoliating the skin with an ingredient strong or harsh enough to remove skin; if it’s a deodorant soap, it’s not cleansing, it’s applying a chemical to mask odor.
    5. Releasing tension and relaxation are a more potent skin care medication than any prescription rosacea treatment you can purchase.
    6. The foods we eat have a direct impact on our skin. Medications can affect our present skin condition. Those with just flushing may find that certain foods trigger a flush, while those who suffer with acne also may find other foods trigger a reaction, some of us have seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea or eczema and rosacea and each change in the skin condition causes a change in triggers. Add to that, the rosacea, acne or eczema treatment you last used, and how much of it you applied and how recently you applied it will affect your skin’s reaction.
