Acne Rosacea Skin Care
by admin on January 18, 2010
Acne rosacea is a moderately common skin disease. Red spots that look like pimples appear on the faces of those who have the disease. Nonetheless these spots are not pimples but expanded blood vessels that appear through the skin, creating red color spots on different parts of the face. Generally, areas such as the chin, the forehead and the lower part of the nose commonly display acne rosacea.
The name acne rosacea might actually not be the most proper name for the particular skin disease since the term is just rosacea and the reference to acne is in fact because of the resemblance between acne and rosacea.
Acne as we all know is most frequent with adolescents. However, acne rosacea is most frequent among fair skinned people between the ages of 30 and 50. The good news about acne rosacea is that unlike in acne there are no whiteheads or blackheads. Although acne rosacea is most commonly associated with women, the disease is more severe in the case of men.
If the disease persist it is best to seek medical
acne treatment. Acne rosacea could appear and automatically disappear but there is good chance of it reappearing. Especially when acne rosacea appears in the eye, overlooking the disease could result in your vision being impaired. A person with untreated acne rosacea may find his/her nose and cheeks reddening and puffing up. In the lower part of the nose and on the cheeks thick bumps might also appear, having a negative effect on the appearance.
Acne rosacea cannot generally be cured entirely, but it can be treated and the effects of the disease could be reduced.
A person suffering from acne rosacea should keep in mind that any activity that would expand his/her blood vessels could aggravate the disease. Certain cosmetics, soap and even hair sprays could aggravate acne rosacea so those with the disease should be careful in using such products. The usage of sunscreen when going outdoors is also recommended for those suffering from the disease. Laser surgery could be used in some cases when treating this disease.
Some who suffer from mild instances of acne rosacea never realize that they even have the disease. The fact that there is no specific test for acne rosacea has been the main cause for the disease going undetected.
