Quite a few treatments are available for acne rosacea, but there is insufficient clinical evidence for a sure treatment. Yet, certain things known for sure are noted here and if you happen to be sufferer, you must discuss with your medical specialist the possibilities of undergoing different treatments and the factors that might be contributing to it.
Antibiotics offer the first line of defense and are often helpful in treating acne rosacea. The antibiotics most often prescribed include Retin A(TM) and Metrogel(TM) with anti-inflammatory properties. Another oral antibiotic known to bring relief in certain cases is Tetracycline.
Some of the natural food products like barley, rye and wheat that are rich in atelic acid are known to have provided effective control of acne rosacea, and as simple acne in many cases. Clinical studies also point out that in some cases in cases of acne the topical application of a prescribed cream with 20% content of atelic acid proved to be helpful in treatment of this disease.
Blood cleansers based on herbal formulation may be helpful for treating acne rosacea. But, again the scientific date is inconclusive. Yet, anecdotal repots point out that burdock root, cleavers, red clover blossoms, and yellow dock proved effective in treating acne rosacea. As these blood cleansers are known to flush out toxins from the body, it would be worth talking to your specialist or a professional naturopath before trying them out.
The role of vitamin B complex in managing of acne rosacea is very perplexing, to say the least. Patients of acne rosacea on being prescribed supplements of vitamins B6 and B12 reported worsening of condition. At the same time it has been observed that many of the patients of acne rosacea have had a deficiency of accepted levels of stomach acid. Such patients definitely showed positive signals on being fed with supplementary doses of balanced B complex. That certainly calls for more research and clinical studies to conclude the effects of vitamin B for treatment of acne rosacea.
Likewise the dietary evidence is as questionable and doubtful as the rest of the contributing factors. Though alcoholic beverages cold add to reddening of skin, there is no conclusive study to confirm that alcohol is the cause of it. It has also been observed that at times consumption of spicy dishes and hot beverages unfavorably affect the sufferers of this malady. It is best to refrain from consumption these items in your intake. Let’s hope that further research on the subject discovers ways and means that prove fruitful in the management of acne rosacea thru controlled and prescribed diet.
It is experienced that adverse conditions may get triggered by: even at ambient temperatures, exposure to sun, extremely hot or cold temperatures, and the temperature of water used for bathing. Though the present research is very meager, it indicates that temperature of food and environments has something to do with it.
Effective treatment acne rosacea calls for a good communication between the sufferer and the physician. Don't venture into any self-prescribed treatment. Remain optimistic, in due course of time the medical sciences will surely find a solution to the problem.
