Rosacea: causes, symptoms, treatment

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease of a non-infectious nature that affects the dermis of the face. This disease is often diagnosed in women, but there are also victims of rasacea among men. Most often, characteristic signs of the disease, namely the visibility of blood vessels, redness, pustules and papules, appear in the central area of ​​the face (on the forehead, nose and cheeks) in people whose age is from 20 to 50 years. Today we’ll talk about why the disease appears and how it is treated. 

Causes of Rosacea

Unfortunately, the exact reason(s) why rosacea appears has not yet been identified by specialists; there are only assumptions based on an analysis of existing patients. The main assumptions are that development occurs due to the high sensitivity of the vessels on the face to various factors. It has been experimentally observed that the blood vessels of patients with rosacea seriously dilate in response to irritants, while in absolutely  healthy   personalities  reaction on  those same   factors  not arises . A little earlier, the causative agent of the disease was considered to be the microscopic Demodes mite, which settles in the sebaceous glands on the dermis of the face. But after this mite was discovered in absolutely healthy people, the version became irrelevant. However, despite the complete refutation of the mite version, you can still find specialists who put their main efforts into fighting Demodex in order to cure rosacea. problemkoga-min{!LANG-e63f8d9270eb9c3da1f136326c4843ac!}

Another theory according to which rosacea may appear is gastritis. This version is supported by the influence of bacteria that cause gastritis itself. The problem has been noted to appear after taking certain medications and using ointments that are applied to the skin of the face contrary to instructions.

As mentioned earlier, the disease most often attacks women, and in most cases patients are diagnosed during the perimenopausal period. It is generally accepted that northern peoples have a genetic predisposition. B group risk included   fair-skinned, red- and blond-haired, as well as blue-eyed people. The provocateurs that activate the disease include:

gastrointestinal problems, especially gastritis;

• disruptions in the endocrine system, such as diabetes, etc.;
• a decrease in the level of the body’s protective functions, but experts’ opinions on this matter are divided.
• It is also worth noting that intensifying rosacea 

maybe   prolonged stay in cold or hot rooms, alcohol abuse, poor diet, prolonged exposure to the sun, frequent stress and wind. roz-2 e9b0f857826ab994b1b1904c051bbf59_L

• It is quite possible that additional symptoms will appear, which are expressed in a feeling of skin tightening, burning and itching. There are also more intricate algorithms and classifications that help identify and diagnose the disease, as well as determine the stage of the disease. It is important to understand that rosacea never goes away on its own, although sometimes there is a remission when the disease completely goes away for a while, but then returns again. beautiful woman in spa salon{!LANG-a6f7ce034666f30379893d1c0178f38c!} {!LANG-55eefcb2ea152c4bc02222cd78258be7!};

You should be wary and visit a specialist if you experience regular redness on the skin of your face after drinking hot drinks, eating spicy, fried and fatty foods, after alcohol, as well as in unfavorable weather characterized by high and low temperatures. If the skin suddenly begins to react to hygiene products, even to soap, to decorative cosmetics. In no case should the disease be ignored, since the further it goes, the stronger it manifests itself and the more difficult it is to treat. Therefore, it is important to stop the progression at the very beginning.

Rosacea treatment

Rosacea is characterized by progression, which manifests itself in more serious stages that are very difficult to treat, such as dilated blood vessels. Therefore, if you notice primary symptoms, be sure to go to an appointment with a dermatologist. Unfortunately, to date no absolute panacea has been invented for the disease, but in 87% of cases doctors manage to control the onset of symptoms of the disease. Do not try to self-medicate - this can only worsen the condition.

Specialized treatment for rosacea can be general or local. Local means the use of creams and ointments, cold lotions. This allows you to relieve inflammation and reduce the problem, but you cannot hope to completely get rid of the disease in this way. More complex treatment regimens, which are tailored individually, show good results. In addition to external medications, the general complex includes antibiotics for internal use, but under no circumstances should you self-prescribe, due to the potent effect and a large number of contraindications for such drugs.

The duration of treatment is directly related to the stage and complexity of the disease, so the timing is purely individual. Inspiring results in the treatment of rosacea are shown by certain types of peels and the use of lasers.
