My husband has it pretty bad on his face and back. We got some stuff called Prosacea but it doesn't seem to be helping him at all. Help!!What is the best treatment for rosacea?
hmmm looking at the other answers it seems to me that most people are just trying to copy and paste and spam with their hobby sites.
What rosacea sufferers need to do is connect with other rosacea sufferers to compare notes, read frequently asked questions and learn about new treatments etc.
The best place to do this at the Rosacea Support Group.
see you there.What is the best treatment for rosacea?
Please refrain from any intake of anitbiotics if possible. Long term exposure to the sun is also not a good thing. Below are a couple of articles I found that you might find interesting.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea (say ';rose-ay-shah';) is a disease that affects the skin on the face. It often begins as redness that looks like a blush across the nose, cheeks, chin or forehead. As time goes on, red pimples and pus-filled bumps may appear. Some people also notice small blood vessels across their nose and cheeks. In some people, the skin of the nose may become red and thick. This is called rhinophyma (say ';rye-no-fie-muh';). Rosacea can also affect the eyes. It may irritate and inflame the eyelids and the white part of the eye. This is called conjunctivitis.
What causes rosacea and who gets it?
No one knows the cause of rosacea. There may not be just one cause. Rosacea tends to run in fair-skinned families and tends to occur in people who blush easily. Symptoms usually begin in adults between the ages of 30 and 60. Women are more likely to get rosacea on the cheeks and chin, but men are more likely to get rhinophyma. Rosacea tends to be more severe in men.
Can rosacea be cured?
No, but it can be treated. Rosacea is a condition that lasts for a long period of time. For most people it tends to get better and then get worse (flare up). Rosacea may get worse over time if it is not treated. Treatment is aimed at controlling the symptoms and making your skin look better.
How is rosacea treated?
The type of medicine your doctor recommends will depend on how your skin looks. Treatment generally works best at improving the pimples and bumps of rosacea. The redness of the skin is harder to treat. Medicines used to treat rosacea include antibiotics, which can be applied to the skin or taken as pills. Your doctor may recommend an oral antibiotic to start with and follow that with an antibiotic gel or cream called metronidazole (one brand name: MetroGel) that you apply to your skin.
It may take up to 2 months of treatment before the skin looks better. As your skin improves, the amount of oral antibiotic you take can often be cut down or stopped. Treatment with the gel may continue. It is hard to know how long you will need treatment for rosacea. Each person's skin is different, and your doctor may want to adjust your treatment.
Surgery may be used to correct rhinophyma. Enlarged blood vessels on your face can sometimes be removed by using a fine electric needle or with laser surgery.
What can I do to help my rosacea get better?
Certain things seem to make rosacea worse. These include sun exposure, hot drinks, alcohol, spicy foods, strenuous exercise, stress, and hot and cold temperatures. If these things make your rosacea worse, you may want to avoid them as much as possible.
Gentle skin care is best, and your doctor may recommend that you use a mild soap and a moisturizer. It is also a good idea to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher on a regular basis.

The best way to treat rosacea is to include an all inclusive combination or lifestyle tips or changes and healthy choices. many excellent lifestyle tips can be found at:

I was really impressed by this statement below in understanding rosacea and it's causes:
';It has been said that rosacea is more than just a red face. In fact it is a complex system of action and reaction. Rosacea partially results from an overly acidic body and skin. The pH (potential of hydrogen) ranges from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. As you rethink your past history, you will notice that all the rosacea triggers come from ';acidic items'; regardless of whether they are foods, drinks, stress, or merely out of breath. We all know that if we hold our breath for 30 seconds or 60 seconds, we will all notice that our face turns pink or red. We all know, but hardly think that the cause is a build up of carbon dioxide which is an ';acidic'; gas and we have a shortage of oxygen. Very similarly, when we exercise for a short period, we have a build up of ';lactic acid';, which is a body waste, which is obviously acidic. Likewise, those with acne need to be very concerned about the build up of acids in our blood stream due to the foods and beverages that we consume. We all know of our triggers such as alcohol, coffee, various medications, etc. which all have a pH below 7.0 or are termed acidic. Our objective therefore should be to balance, buffer or neutralize the acids with alkaline.';
So perhaps rosacea is more a case of achieving the proper balance to control your rosacea.
I have personally found the most success with the treatment protocol explained in the Rosacea-Ltd Treatment system. They believe in the theory of ';First do no harm';. The company also offers a 120-day full refund if for some reason you aren't satisfied with the results using their treatment.
Well, the best thing he can do is be careful of sun exposure for now.
Here is a guide for things he can do to reduce redness: http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-t鈥?/a>
Word of warning, my grandmother had roseacea and they put her on an antibiotic called tetracycline and she developed leukemia and is no longer with us. Do NOT take any antibiotic for more then a month or two. She was on that crap for about a year. Please be careful.

What is the best treatment for rosacea?
My boss has it and she has to take an antibiotic if it gets bad. You have to watch what you eat and drink. Look up on webmd.com you should get plenty of answers there.
Are there over the counter treatments for Rosacea?
All effective treatments either require a prescription or must be administered by a physician. Over-the-counter medications, especially those for acne can be a hazard; they can irritate the skin of rosacea.
While there is no cure for rosacea and the cause is unknown, medical therapy is available to control or reverse its signs and symptoms.
Rosacea (pronounced ';roh-ZAY-sha';) is a chronic and potentially life-disruptive disorder primarily of the facial skin, often characterized by flare-ups and remissions. Many have observed that it typically begins any time after age 30 as a redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. In some cases, rosacea may also occur on the neck, chest, scalp or ears. Over time, the redness becomes ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue. This is the condition, called rhinophyma (pronounced ';rhi-no-FY-muh';), that gave the late comedian W.C. Fields his trademark bulbous nose. In many rosacea patients, the eyes are also affected, feeling irritated and appearing watery or bloodshot.
Various oral and topical medications may be prescribed to treat the bumps, pimples and redness often associated with the disorder. Dermatologists usually prescribe initial treatment with oral antibiotics and topical therapy to bring the condition under immediate control, followed by long-term use of the topical therapy alone to maintain remission.
When appropriate, treatments with lasers, intense pulsed light sources or other medical and surgical devices may be used to remove visible blood vessels, reduce extensive redness or correct disfigurement of the nose. Ocular (eye) rosacea may be treated with oral antibiotics and other therapy.
Treatment involves both oral and topical medicines. Oral antibiotics (such as tetracycline) are commonly prescribed; the dose may be initially high and then be tapered to maintenance levels.
A topical (skin) antibiotic cream such as metronidazole (Metrocream) is useful to reduces the inflammation and the redness. Other topical antibiotic creams include erythomycin and clindamycin (Cleocin).
Short-term topical cortisone (steroid) preparations of the right strength may also be used to reduce local inflammation. Some doctors are trying tretinoin (Retin-A) or isotretoin (Accutane), prescription medications also used for acne, or permethrin (Elimite) cream, which is used for the mites that cause scabies.
Rubbing the face tends to irritate the reddened skin. Some cosmetics and hair sprays may also aggravate redness and swelling.
Facial products such as soap, moisturizers and sunscreens should be free of alcohol or other irritating ingredients. Moisturizers should be applied very gently after any topical medication has dried. When going outdoors, sunscreens with an SPF of 15 or higher are needed.

Does anyone have treatment or remedy for facial flushing/redness due to mild rosacea?
I have tried prescriptions and my Derm. told me only thing effective was laser (IPL). $1500 later, I am on my last (6th) treatment and the flushing/redness still exists. I have always had pink skin, just gotten worse now I'm 38. I am fair skin, have occasional pimples, its the redness that bothers me. I use sunscreen and stay out of the sun. Please help.Does anyone have treatment or remedy for facial flushing/redness due to mild rosacea?
IPL is thought to be one of the best options for facial redness due to flushing. Finding the right practitioner can be difficult - especially finding one that has experience in your specific symptoms. It can be expensive for sure. What is your IPL practitioner telling you about the number of treatments that you need ?
You might like to try beta-blockers as an option to reduce the flushing - ask your doctor.Does anyone have treatment or remedy for facial flushing/redness due to mild rosacea?
Wow $1500! I know what its like, my sister went on her 4th treatment and stoped. She used the stuff in the source box below. and a week later it worked 10x better then IPL . I think thats your best bet.
Rub lime juice with honey and salt this will help
I'm using Metrogel (antibiotic gel) on my face twice a day. I have not had a pimple since I started using it and my face does not look as red. I'm not familiar with the IPL. The laser (will find out the name for you) I use gets rid of the little red veins. It's $350.00 to $375.00 for 15 minutes. It gets rid of them immediately. I had it done three years ago and I'm just about to go back in and have it done again. Maybe you should see a different doctor. Not all doctors have the same lasers. $1500 for 6 treatments for mild Rosacea sounds very wrong to me.
I just had my laser treatment. It's called Gemini Laser. So far I'm pleased, but my face is very swollen right now. The web site ';djp'; left in his answer is very informative. You may find some better answers in that forum. Good luck to you!

Rosacea affects millions of people, most of whom are over the age of 30. It appears as a red rash which is normally confined to the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. The redness is often accompanied by bumps, pimples, and skin blemishes. Blood vessels may also become more visible on the skin. Blackheads are not a part of rosacea. It is more prevalent in women, but often more severe when found in men. Left untreated, it can cause swelling of the nose and the growth of excess tissue, a condition called rhinophyma. Treatment is often different for rosacea than for acne, and it is important that you consult a doctor can determine if what you are experiencing is acne vulgaris or rosacea.I think i have Rosacea. What is it, What is it caused by? Treatment?
Rosacea often flares when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, which causes redness. Things that cause a flare-up are called triggers. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths. Swings in temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot can also cause a flare-up of rosacea.

Hi Daydreamer
Here is the answer to clear any skin issue.
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin.';
Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';Diet and nutritional supplements: Regular consumption of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, in whole form or juiced, along with legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and little or no refined, overprocessed foods, fat, sugar, and caffeine will help your skin to stay young and healthy. Pay attention, particularly in the case of hives and rashes, to any foods to which you may be oversensitive. The nutritional supplements that are most of benefit to the skin are Vitamin A (we recommend it in the form of Beta carotene, which is non-toxic, since prolonged use of over 50,000 I.U. of Vitamin A can result in hair loss, skin dryness, and other symptoms of toxicity), Zinc, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C. We suggest these in combination with a mega multi vitamin and mineral containing 25-50 mg of the B vitamins but use higher amount with some skin conditions. Essential fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acid are necessary to keep the skin soft and pliable. PABA, often found in sun tan products, helps prevent against damage from the sun's ultraviolet rays.';
Man's body is a living organism, made of living cells, which require living food in order to be properly nourished and function well. When we put cooked food into our body, loaded with contaminants, the body starts to break down. It begins in the very young with colic, rashes, colds, earaches, upset stomachs, swollen glands and tonsils. As the child grows older, their may be tooth decay, pimples, the need for eye glasses, etc. Then as we enter adult life there is arthritis, hypoglycemia, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancers. All this and a multitude of other diseases are unnecessary and are nothing but the result of improper diet and lifestyle! Today, most people accept cooked food as the normal means of supplying the body with nutrients, not realizing that the living cells of our bodies do not take nourishment from the dead and artificial ingredients found in cooked food. And so, after a typical meal of cooked meat, cooked potatoes, a cooked vegetable and a piece of cooked bread, followed by a cooked sugar desert, their stomach is full and they think they have satisfied the nutritional needs of their body. In reality, they have given their body practically no nourishment. And thus with a full stomach, they are slowly starving their body's cells.
The fastest way to restore wellness is to stop putting into the body the things that have caused the physical problem to develop in the first place, and then give the body the nutrients it needs to repair and rebuild itself. The body is self-healing when the infraction is stopped and proper nutrients provided. Learn about the incredible Healing Powers of Living (Raw) Foods and Juices

I had a bad case of that. It can not only get worse it can cause your nose to grow into a bulbous mass. Look at W%26gt;C%26gt;Fields nose, as an example! Go to a good derm and he will put you on anti-biotics for a while and you will have to put Metro-Gel on at night. The Metro-Gel is the key in controlling it and is standard treatment. I use Eucerine Redness Relief foam moisturizer which has a green tint to counteract the red look. It contains licorice root which soothes the skin. Get on Eucerines site for a free sample of the entire line of Redness Relief products. My skin is beautiful now. And when this first started I couldn't stay in the sun for any length of time and now I can. I can now drink caffine with no problems as long as I don't drink more than one in an hours time.

The most useful and frequently used herbal compounds include licorice, feverfew, green tea, oatmeal, lavender, chamomile, tea tree oil, and camphor oil. The utility of most of these herbs is based on their purported anti-inflammatory properties. Some of these herbs have proven effects, many have potential benefits, and some may aggravate rosacea.
all that being said..I would suggest using those herbs in a hot water diffusion minus the essential oils...then when your diffusion (herbal tea) is strained, try using it on the skin...like before you go to bed...also these herbs can be drank in an herbal tea...I wouldnt suggest the green tea though...as it has natural amounts of caffeine in it...and never drink essential oils...you might want to try a teaspoon of the difusion to see how your stomach reacts if you decide to try it...(make sure it's cooled down before applying to skin) ...if they don't irritate your skin then try adding one drop each of the essential oils to the diffusion...(make sure to refrigerate your diffusion after creating it)...I wouldnt suggest using the essential oils listed in your diffusion because they tend to burn a bit...rather fill a sink full of water and add a drop of each into the warm water and splash your face w/ that...if that burns then rinse your face well and try a drop or two in a tub of bathwater...careful w/ essential because they do tend to burn...if not successful w/ the oils then discontinue use....keep your infusion refrigerated for up to a week before diposing of it and making a fresh batch...you can experiment around as well if it proves somewhat sucessful...try mixing a small strong portion of your infusion w/ some facial cream you use...I might suggest some hawaiian tropic tanning lotion...make sure the diffusion liquid is hot when you mix it w/ the lotion as to ensure saturation of the product...mix from about a measuring teaspoon to a tablespoons worth w/ one bottle of lotion...you might need to shake the lotion on each use because the concoction will prolly become separated...if not great :)...now your good to go w/ a bottle of diffused lotion you can take w/ you to work or wherever...keep using the product until you see results...if no results occur...try searching for different herbs for your skin prob until you find the one you need...gl..

The most useful and frequently used herbal compounds include licorice, feverfew, green tea, oatmeal, lavender, chamomile, tea tree oil, and camphor oil. The utility of most of these herbs is based on their purported anti-inflammatory properties. Some of these herbs have proven effects, many have potential benefits, and some may aggravate rosacea.
all that being said..I would suggest using those herbs in a hot water diffusion minus the essential oils...then when your diffusion (herbal tea) is strained, try using it on the skin...like before you go to bed...also these herbs can be drank in an herbal tea...I wouldnt suggest the green tea though...as it has natural amounts of caffeine in it...and never drink essential oils...you might want to try a teaspoon of the difusion to see how your stomach reacts if you decide to try it...(make sure it's cooled down before applying to skin) ...if they don't irritate your skin then try adding one drop each of the essential oils to the diffusion...(make sure to refrigerate your diffusion after creating it)...I wouldnt suggest using the essential oils listed in your diffusion because they tend to burn a bit...rather fill a sink full of water and add a drop of each into the warm water and splash your face w/ that...if that burns then rinse your face well and try a drop or two in a tub of bathwater...careful w/ essential because they do tend to burn...if not successful w/ the oils then discontinue use....keep your infusion refrigerated for up to a week before diposing of it and making a fresh batch...you can experiment around as well if it proves somewhat sucessful...try mixing a small strong portion of your infusion w/ some facial cream you use...I might suggest some hawaiian tropic tanning lotion...make sure the diffusion liquid is hot when you mix it w/ the lotion as to ensure saturation of the product...mix from about a measuring teaspoon to a tablespoons worth w/ one bottle of lotion...you might need to shake the lotion on each use because the concoction will prolly become separated...if not great :)...now your good to go w/ a bottle of diffused lotion you can take w/ you to work or wherever...keep using the product until you see results...if no results occur...try searching for different herbs for your skin prob until you find the one you need...gl..
