Here are some tips that might help you deal with the problem. 1. Know your triggers Break outs are usually triggered by a host of factors. These triggers are different for each person. Some may even have more than one triggers. The trick is to determine what your triggers are so that you can minimize your break outs. Some rosacea patients have break outs when they are exposed to the sun, when the temperature is really high and when the weather is humid. Some get their pimples from eating spicy foods or dishes that trigger their condition: some kinds of veggies and dairy products. Stress can also be a trigger and so using cosmetics and other skin products. 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. It does not also help that sometimes people's faces get so damaged that they won't even talk about their problem. Rosacea, to those tho have not heard of the problem, rosacea is a skin problem characterized by severe redness on the skin on the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Unlike acne, there seems to be no hormonal imbalances or blackheads/whiteheads. Do not use skin care products or any cosmetics that contain alcohol or other irritating substances. When using hair sprays, avoid having the spray get in contact with your face. Avoid rubbing, scrubbing or massaging the face. As much as possible, keep your face clean and avoid having to touch it unless necessary. Get treated If these things do not help you control your break outs, then it is time to go to the expert. Doctors can give you medicines to control flare ups. There are also treatments available that will help you deal permanently with your problem. Topical steroids for instance are often prescribed to rosacea patients for a few months.
