Acne Rosacea Cure

Natural Cure for Acne Rosacea

Acne Rosacea is a very common type of skin disease which varies from patient to patient. All depends on its severity and subtypes. That is why there should be different approaches that take into consideration the specifics of each case.

The most important step in treating rosacea is to identify the factors that caused it. That’s why the National Rosacea Society recommends that a diary be kept to help identify the triggers.

Next, there are some simple rules that you have to follow no matter what caused your acne problem. Natural cure can comes if you choose to clean your skin gently and regularly with non-irritating cleansers. To protect your skin from the sun use a sunscreen containing a physical blocker such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

You should consult your doctor who can prescribe some oral tetracycline antibiotics such as minocycline, doxycycline or tetracycline as well as topical antibiotics such as metronidazole to relieve pustules, papules redness and inflammation.

Some of the oral antibiotics may also help to relieve symptoms of ocular rosacea. A stronger medicine is isotretinoin which may be prescribed if papules and pustules persist. Since isotretinoin has many side effects it should be used in low dosages. However, it is proven to be effective against papulopustular and phymatous rosacea.

The centrally-acting α-2 agonist clonidine can be very helpful for curing flushing and blushing but it also has side effects such as drowsiness and lowered blood pressure. A good alternative to clonidine is monoxidine because it has fewer side effects, but the bad thing is that most people find it to be less effective.

Similar to α-2 agonists are beta-blockers like propanolol but they are more helpful when used to relieve anxiety and chronic social blushing than for general flushing. In cases of flushing which occurs with red wine consumption or with other foods containing high amounts of histamine the best medication is antihistamines such as loratadine.  

For prevention from infections of the eyelids one must practice frequent eyelid hygiene including daily scrubbing the eyelids gently with a mild diluted shampoo – preferably baby shampoo or an over-the-counter eyelid cleaner. It is also helpful to apply warm compresses several times a day.

There is no doubt that some of the best treatments or cures for rosacea are Intense Pulsed Light (broad spectrum) or dermatological vascular laser (single wavelength) or machines which use light to penetrate the epidermis.

Oxy-hemoglobin absorbs the light and the capillary walls heat up to 70ºC which damages them and little by little they are absorbed by the body's natural defense mechanism. Another cure method is CO2 lasers used to remove excess tissue caused by phymatous rosacea.
