Do you know how to treat rosacea?

[Anonymous]

I caught rosacea due to my mom. She has same illness. İts affect face ( cheeks and a little bit forehead). İts not a big illness. Someone cured their rosacea while some can't. Cuz every people's face and skin are different. Which cream or anything else would you suggest me? I do also gym which make my skin more healty. If I combine with some cream , I believe I will get rid of from this illness. But I don't know which cream I should use? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks :)

Step one would be to go do some research on rosacea. You did not 'catch' rosacea from anyone. It is not contagious.
Step two would be to see a dermatologist. If it's that severe, there are various medications and treatments such as laser that can be pursued.

I have a bad English. I meant this illness come to me cuz of my mom had the same illness. İts like genetic. Anyway. I went different dermatologists in Turkey. Most of them were drunk. They didn't find my illness. They said different illness and they were all wrong. Until I went a Professor. He and his assistants checked my face in Professor's room. And Prof said you have rosacea. He wrote me a pill and cream. I used them. But the pill was so strong to my stomach. Then I went a different doctor and she said stop this pill. They didn't work to me. Most of the people who use this pill made their stomach gastritis or reflux. I didn't this to my stomach cuz I stopped it. That was a strong pill. I went İstanbul where I live normally. Cuz I was study an other city. Then I didn't any other doctor anymore. Cuz I use lots of cream and they never worked to my face. Cuz my face is sensitive. I heard something about Armenia Doctors in İstanbul. I heard they were so good doctors.

Their hospitals were so crowded. I hope they will help me.

I use this when I go outside when the weather is sunny :) İt really so cool. İt makes my skin also black.(chocolate)

Rosacea is not really an 'illness'. It's a skin condition, similar to psoriasis, eczema, acne, etc. If it bothers you, and pills and creams haven't worked, get a consultant at a laser clinic.
Unfortunately there is currently no cure for rosacea. There are treatments that may or may not work for individuals, and there is currently a monoclonal antibody drug going through trials, but no cure as of yet. Best thing to do is identify your specific triggers and avoid them.

make an appointment with a good dermatologist. prescription strength topical meds are far superior to their otc counterparts.

[Asker]

I didn't understand your second sentence. :( I have a bad English.

[Asker]

What is OTC means? İs that a cream? I heard something about this OTC. İn a video.

[Asker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XRUEt_EhG4 She used OTC. But it didn't work to her probably. But maybe will work to me I don't know. İf its strong , I believe it will work to me.

[COCOCHANEL]

otc = over the counter
a product you buy without a prescription

[Asker]

Oww My skin is sensitive. I am afraid to using something without prescription. Cuz it fucks my face.

[COCOCHANEL]

you have sensitive skin. don't use harsh products that contain: ethanol, alcohol denat., witch hazel, benzoyl peroxide

[Asker]

Seems like you are a doctor , or at least you have knowledge about medicine. I don't know what is " ethanol, alcohol denat., witch hazel, benzoyl peroxide ". I even did paste copy what you commented. :D İts so complicated.

[COCOCHANEL]

i have sensitive skin and research this topic a lot

[Asker]

Hımmm. Are you from Japan?

[COCOCHANEL]

yes i am

Most of the Asian people are lucky about skin due to genetic. I love Asian women. They are so beautiful. Especially South Korean women are so cute. And they have smooth skin which is best.

There is no cure for rosacea.
You just have to identify what environments, conditions, foods, etc triggers it and stay away from them.

[Asker]

I don't believe there is no cure to rosacea. There are plenty of cures for rosacea. But the different thing is , which one will you work for a person? Different cures works different with different people. I believe myself I will get rid of this illness. Even at this time I have no so much redness onto my face. Cuz I eat healthy and do lots of sports , drink 2 litre water everyday. I just need a good doctor who will suggest me a strong cream. I will combine with sports and healthy foods. Then I will permanantly get rid of this bullshit from my life. There are many people who succeded to get rid of from this illness.(Permanantly)

Just wear foundation

[Asker]

Foundation?

[Opinion Owner]

It's face makeup. It's either liquid or powder. It helps to hide acne/acne scars and redness. I honestly think rosacea is not a bad thing to be honest. If you have it mostly on your cheeks it can look like bluch and i personally find that cute.

[Opinion Owner]

Oops i meant blush* sorry. Stupid typos!

[Asker]

I am a macho man.(manly) I can never use make up.

[Opinion Owner]

And let me tell you something. Rosacea is not an illness. It's more of a facial "flaw" . I would put it in the same category as acne. I think you're lucky if you're only facial flaw is a bit of redness on your cheeks.

[Opinion Owner]

If you go to the store and find a foundation that matches your skin tone it will look natural and no one would notice

[Asker]

I take this as a compliment. But believe me its not a good thing :D İt affect beauty of face. There is no regular redness onto face. İt makes even cheeks more big with acne. But of course İf I touch my face with my finger. İf I don't touch my face with my fingers then my face will be more normal. But the problem is my face itching sometimes :D Thanks for your comments and replys <3

[Asker]

I told you. I will never use make up or foundation. Don't suggest me this please. I am manly.

[Opinion Owner]

You want to cover it up or not? Wouldn't you rather risk your "manliness" but at the same time cover something you're very insecure about? C'mon , think about it. I really don't know much about rosacea.. So , makeup is probably the only thing i can suggest for a temporary fix. Maybe i can also suggest some home remedies or products designed to lessen the appearance of rosacea.
