Rosacea treatment need help..?
Hi there – i have had rosacea around the edges of my nose since i was about 3 or 4 so i have never known what it was like to have clear skin and im sure you know how mean kids in school can be. My mum never really looked into it for some reason so i went without treatment for years until i complained about the bullying – then i went to the doc’s for some topical cream that didn’t work so i just sort of shrugged it off and ignored it till now in high-school.. i am 16 and have chronic blackheads all over my Tzone also where my rosacea is so i can’t treat the blackheads yet because the blackhead treatment makes my rosacea flare up and spread so i need to know if i should treat the rosacea first or the blackheads first? but i don’t think rosacea ever actually goes away especially considering that mine has been there for my whole life.. maybe its just part of how i am
for the rosacea i have tried – not drinking milk or eating cheese/dairy products -prescriptionn doxycycline pills – primrose oil -chamomilee – a wide variety of different recommended vitaminin supplements – and a countless number of different creams and herbal lotions –
for the blackheads i have tried – a wide variaty of cleansing scrubs – followed by benzoyl peroxide gel 5% moved up to 10%(still using not sure if i should because of the rosacea) – biore max strengh pore strips – steaming my face – teatree oil – proactive solution
also can i get laser treatment for my rosacea even if i have blackheads?

See a dermatologist. I’m 60 and have had the same problem around my nose since I was about 11 years old. They can prescribe medication that will control the inflamation / blackheads etc. It will only get worse as you get older without getting the right medication.
hi, i have had this since my early adult years. The only things that helps is drinking lots of water, and washing your face with neutrogena acne soap twice a day, followed by clean and clear lotion.
I think you need to see a well trained dermatologist who can help you through your maze. There are several different regimens that have come to my mind for possibly treating you, but without seeing the problem, I"d be foolish to recommend one over the other. Your dermatologist, who actually has your face in front of him, is in the best position to treat you.
Small red lines can be treated with electrosurgery and laser surgery. For some people, laser surgery improves the skin without much scarring or damage.
Patients with a swollen, bumpy nose can have extra skin tissue taken off to make it smaller. Usually patients feel this process helps their appearance.
But, in my opinion, you should first give natural treatment one more try. Remember, you should always try & buy supplements from reputable companies which manufacture their products in an FDA registered, GMP ( Good manufacturing Practices) compliant facility and adhere to Full Spectrum Approach of extractions and having its ingredients (if homeopathic) registered with Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
When your face gets warm and red, your first instinct is the right one – cool it down. The easiest way is to soak a clean face washer in ice-cold water and lay it on the red areas for about 10 minutes. The cold tightens up blood vessels.
Avoid all stimulants (coffee or tea) and spicy food. Give up the spiciest of spicy foods, including hot sauces, and all types of hot chillies. After you eat these foods, your face not only feels as though it’s flushed – it is flushed. The fine arteries expand in reaction to the spicy food.
Treatment options such as oral antibiotics and topical creams are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and redness. Topical cortisone preparations for short-term use may also be prescribed as topical vitamin C therapy and cosmetic surgery.
Often the harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients that are contained in today’s skincare products do more damage to your skin than you may realize. Herbal remedies, on the other hand have carefully selected natural ingredients to improve the appearance of the skin and prevent future break outs. Two well known herbs such as Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) and Lavender Essential Oil have wonderful healing powers attributed to their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic actions.
Other herbs such as Arctium lappa and Bulbine frutescence have been used widely to treat skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, Apparatus linearis (Rooibos) an indigenous shrub that hails from South Africa is known worldwide for its anti-oxidant and healing properties as well as its soothing and healing effect on the skin.
