Acne Rosacea Sufferers - Prepare To Slay This Villain

Acne Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that afflicts many adults. Many regard it as incurable, and so conventional treatments focus on managing the condition and preventing flare-ups. The holistic approach is the best alternative available to sufferers desperate for a cure that works.

Acne Rosacea enlarges blood vessels in the face, especially around the chin, nose, and forehead. The skin becomes inflamed and turns a red colour. In advanced cases, the cheeks and nose swell up and are covered in cysts. There may also be pimples and other skin blemishes. Acne Rosacea usually appears in people over the age of 30. It is more common in women, but the symptoms tend to be more severe in men.

The condition is a progressive one. The symptoms tend to come and go but generally get worse with every flare up. In contrast to the type of acne that afflicts adolescents, acne rosacea almost never goes away by itself and has to be treated if it is to be controlled. Sufferers typically use expensive drugs and skin care products, but these chemicals sometimes have harmful side effects that outweigh their benefits. Some people change their lifestyles. They avoid things like smoking, extremes of temperature, strenuous exercise, and alcohol. These activities and conditions increase blood flow to the skin, which, in turn, enlarges blood vessels in the face.

Sadly, these treatments only focus on the symptoms of acne rosacea and so, at best, can only reduce their severity.

Genetics is decisive in determining who is likely to develop acne rosacea. Thus, sufferers usually have close relatives with the disease, and it mainly affects people with fair skin, especially those of English, Irish or Scottish descent. You can't change your genetic makeup, and so the key to curing this malady is to neutralise the 'triggers' that cause it to flare up.

These triggers work by disrupting the body's internal chemistry. Consider the following established facts:

1. Some bacteria (especially intestinal bacteria) produce toxins and create an imbalance of hormones that can cause acne rosacea.

2. Stress brought on by things like insomnia, worry, or fear produces a hormonal shift. For example, the adrenal glands typically respond to stress by producing cortisol, a hormone that causes the skin's sebaceous glands to expand and produce extra oil. In acne sufferers, that excess oil blocks pores, leading to an infection that develops into some form of acne.

3. A range of medications, acne treatments, and skin care products contain chemicals responsible for allergic reactions that bring on or aggravate acne rosacea.

4. Some foods and drinks contribute to flare ups in some sufferers. They include alcohol, coffee, spicy food, and foods high in histamines (e.g. cheese, red wine, bacon, and yogurt).

5. Research at the San Diego School of Medicine in 2007 showed that the onset of acne rosacea is associated with the overproduction of certain inflammatory enzymes in the body.

There is a large number of acne rosacea triggers, and they can vary significantly from one individual to another. This diversity means that a remedy has to be both comprehensive and versatile if it is to successfully neutralise all the triggers that may be affecting each person.

The holistic method is a safe, natural alternative that fulfils this demanding criterion. It has produced excellent results for many sufferers desperate to get rid of acne rosacea. It doesn't require high-priced medications or chemicals; it's simple and works quickly. Most importantly, the holistic approach can be customised to meet your body's specific needs and neutralise all the triggers that give rise to persistent acne rosacea.
