How Do You Cure Rosacea?
Often mistaken for adult acne, rosacea is a common skin disease whose symptoms may include flushing and redness of the face, red bumps or pustules, burst facial capillaries, and swelling or pitting of the nose. While it is not possible to cure rosacea, it is relatively easy to control if caught early. By reducing rosacea triggers and preventing flare-ups, rosacea sufferers can slow the disease’s progress and live with few or no outward signs of the illness. Use SPF 15 (or higher) sunscreen on your face when you go outside. Wear a hat, and stay out of the sun as much as possible. Some brands of make-up contain sunscreen as well. Sun exposure is strongly linked with rosacea flare-ups. Avoid extreme temperatures and sudden temperature changes. If you get hot enough for your face to turn red, you will probably have a flare-up soon. A sudden change from hot to cold (like splashing cold water on your face after running) can cause capillaries to burst. Take warm showers and baths, but not hot
