Rosacea can be treated by a host of medical treatments. The only trick is to find the treatment that suits you. Among the treatments available are using products like antibacterial washes, topical creams and antibiotic pills. Some patients also undergo laser therapies, pulse-light procedures and photodynamic therapy. From the simplest home remedies to the extreme measures of laser therapies for those with extreme cases, Rosacea patients are sure to find one that suits their condition and needs. But remember though that rosacea cannot be cured. People can only manage the disease and control the symptoms. There is actually nothing more they can do. Some treatments The inflammatory part of rosacea (papules, pustules, nodules) is treated with topical agents that contain very mild topical steroids. Oral antibiotic tetracycline is also used to control some parts of rosacea. Strong steroids are avoided because they tend to worsen the symptoms. Sebaceous hyperplasias are treated with light electric needle or a laser treatment. When cosmetics and other skin products are used, there often is a stinging or slightly burning sensation. The skin s sebaceous glands enlarge, making the skin more oily. Inflammatory rosacea When papules (small red bumps) and pustule (pus-filled pimples) star appearing, rosacea has entered the inflammatory stage. It is a disfiguring nose condition characterized by a bulbous nose enlarged by the disease. Bumps There might be some bumps on the lower half of the nose and the nearby cheek areas. Severe rhinophyma occurs only on men. However, it can now be surgically corrected and repaired. Some people falsely attribute the prominent red nose to heavy drinking. Rosacea flares up when blood vessels in the face expand and causes blushing or redness. The triggers are the sun, wind, stress, alcohol, spicy food, hot weather and hot baths. Sometimes, mood changes can cause a rosacea flare-up. Treatments Unfortunately, rosacea has no cure, only medicine to manage the disease.
