Unlike acne, these pimples when pressed do not spat out pus or whiteheads; they secrete clear liquids. How is it cured? Unfortunately, rosacea has no cure. In fact, scientists are not even sure what exactly causes the problem. It is a lifelong chronic problem that needs lifelong management and control. Topical medicines are usually the first to be prescribed because they have proven to be effective and do not have many side effects. One of the most common is the erythromycin which is often being prescribed to people with acne problems. Oral medicines on the other hand should be taken carefully since they do have side effects especially with long term or prolonged use. The face of rosacea Tiny blood vessels they call spider veins develop on their faces, especially on both their cheeks. After a while, small red bumps develop and appear in crops. Some of these red bumps contain pus (pustules) and those without pus are called papules. These red bumps look like acne, and people usually call them adult acne. These individuals may also experience redness of the eyelids and light sensitivity. Untreated eye rosacea may cause permanent damage, including impaired vision. Symptoms The symptoms include a persistent burning sensation and the feeling of grittiness in the eyes. The eyelids are inflamed and swollen. Theories explain that overexposure to the sun, skin mites, infection with common bacteria, and genetic defects in the arrangement of blood vessels in the skin are some of suspected causes of rosacea. Although these signs and symptoms are not health hazards, they can be a cause of great discomfort that will eventually lead to loss of self-esteem. Later, this redness becomes permanent and fine blood vessels begin to show in the areas of redness. Later, this redness becomes thicker and more noticeable with time, especially if there is no treatment done. It can become purple sometime later. More symptoms There are other signs of rosacea that shows up on the face of the victim.
