Severe rosacea is an escalated version of rosacea that wasn’t treated during its milder stage. Rosacea in its milder stage brings about redness, flushing, acne-like bumps, and dilated blood vessels. It is true that rosacea cannot be cured but many of us still search for treatments that can prevent rosacea from getting worse.
Severe Rosacea: Steps To Managing Rosacea
Here are just some steps you can do to manage rosacea and keep its symptoms at bay.
- Combine one part vinegar with 6 parts of water. Using this solution, clean your face every day. However, if your skin is sensitive to vinegar, you can apply it weekly. To test if your skin is sensitive, apply the solution on a small part of your skin. If your skin reacts adversely, apply weekly.
- Use green tea to lessen the redness and swelling.
- Find out your rosacea triggers. It can be any food, drink or activity. Take note of your observations and act accordingly. If you finally figured out what triggers your rosacea, then stay away from them! The usual triggers are alcoholic drinks, certain soft drinks, dairy products and spicy foods.
Your rosacea condition worsens as you age. It can go from mild rosacea to moderate to severe in just a year if you don’t treat your skin. At that point, you might develop social phobias because of rosacea flare ups. To get the right treatments, go to your dermatologist. Your skin specialist knows how to handle skin conditions such as this. The best part is that your skin specialist has a custom-made solution that is just for you and your skin type.
Severe rosacea only occurs when you don’t treat your rosacea so be sure that you get the right medical attention for your skin condition. As much as possible, do not self-prescribe or consume any oral medications without your doctor’s authority. If rosacea is still in its mild state, you can follow the suggested tips above. But when all else fails, rush to your dermatologist to get your personalized treatment.
Take care and be well.
