Rosacea FAQ
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a mysterious disorder that continues to receive very little focus by
the general medical community. According to the National Rosacea Society,
Rosacea is a chronic, acne-like condition of
the facial skin. It typically first
appears as a flushing or subtle redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead
that comes and goes. If left untreated, Rosacea tends to worsen over time. As
the condition progresses, the redness becomes more persistent. Bumps and pimples
called papules and pustules appear and small, dilated blood vessels may become
visible on the face, chest and scalp.
Other components of Rosacea include vascular (flushing, burning, damaged blood
vessels and chronic facial swelling and inflammation); acneform (papules and
rhinophyma); ocular (chronic, dry, gritty feeling, watering, loss of eyelashes,
broken blood vessles and swelling or inflammation of the eyelids).
Rosacea can look like acne or other skin disorders, making diagnosis difficult.
If these symptoms sound familiar you may want to consult a dermatologist for a
professional diagnosis.
Who gets Rosacea?
Although the cause of Rosacea is unknown, it usually appears during or
after middle age and is more common among people with fair skin. This
bewildering skin condition is on the rise and it effects people worldwide. There
are an estimated 6 million Rosacea sufferers in Canada, 8 to 10 million in the
UK and millions more in all parts of Europe, Spain, China, Africa and Russia.
These numbers do not include the 14 million people who suffer from Rosacea here,
in the United States.
Rosacea’s Impact
Ask anyone who has lived with Rosacea for any length of time how
frustrating it is to limit the fun things in life in an attempt to maintain
their self-esteem, and you will under-stand the devastating impact this
mysterious condition can have on a person’s life. People with Rosacea often
suffer embarrassment, frustration, depression, hopelessness and a loss of joy
due to a lack of effective treatment. What are my treatment options?
Considerable confusion and disagreement about the causes of Rosacea have
naturally lead to a variety of treatment regimens. Most physicians agree,
however, that treatment should begin as soon as possible to slow down
progression of the condition.
People with Rosacea are often told the best they can do is try and prevent
outbreaks by avoiding spicy foods, alcohol, coffee or other beverages containing
caffeine, hot baths, physical exertion, stress, cosmetics, embarrassment, warm
rooms, vegetables, dairy products and even the sun.
In some cases oral or topical antibiotics (such as metronidazole gel) are recommended with varying results and the long-term consequences of this type of treatment are still not fully known. Some topical medications can actually worsen the disorder. Persons with severe rhinophyma are unlikely to improve with antibiotic treatment.
