Acne rosacea is an unknown but far more sinister and far less
recognizable version of acne than the zit-and-blackhead variety. In fact,
diagnoses ranging from allergies to alcoholism may precede its final
identification.
Acne rosacea is characterized by morbidly inflamed skin, typically on
the cheeks, forehead, nose, eyelids and, rarely, on the chest. The skin
eruptions associated with acne rosacea can vary from the bulging of
capillary blood vessels to sizeable pus-filled cysts. Because of the
disfigurement acne rosacea can cause, the disorder is often accompanied by
depression, social isolation and high levels of stress.
Its holistic treatment may therefore have to include a certain degree
of therapy. Unhappily, lack of knowledge about rosacea can lead to serious
complication while attempting to treat it. This is because it is often
mistakenly thought to be acne and treated accordingly. The compounds used
in addressing acne can seriously exacerbate acne rosacea symptoms.
The correct course of action is to correct the imbalances in skin
environment, specifically by restoring deleted zinc, mineral and hydration
levels. Naturally occurring plant extracts like aloe vera, rosehip, and
chamomile can be of some benefit. A qualified dermatologist must be
consulted for further pharmacological intervention.
Effective relief from the rosacea variety of acne will depend largely
on lifestyle changes. Oral water intake must be stepped up to at least
eight glasses per day, both to rehydrate the skin and to calm the
metabolic stress alarm. The use of alcohol and stimulants like coffee, tea
and cigarettes entirely eliminated, since these encourage excessive
sebaceous gland excretions. Hot/icy cold showers, abrasive soaps and
exposure to the sun are also detrimental. These measures, together with
proper hygiene, a stress-reducing exercise regimen, and regular sleep
habits (at least seven hours per night) can go a long way in alleviating
rosacea.
