ABC News with Dr. Day - Rosacea

[@Holypikemanz]

Benedryl helps for acute flares, and a soonful of baking soda in the morning, an hour before food, helps body acidity.

[@MsTainteddove]

Went to my Dermatologist 15 years ago, and said I thought it was Rosacea. He said no, it was a bad sunburn and burnt blood vessels, use make up to cover it up and live with it. As the years passed, I got lots worse. Now I'm 49 and still not in menopause and Metronidazole has helped, but so many stressers, what can one put on to keep one's skin from looking like it's been burnt by chemicals? Medication first? Moisturizer next? Makeup? I tend to avoid makeup because it sometimes triggers me.

[@MssNatski]

Metrogel and finacea are often relatively harsh creams for the vascular subtype, where one suffers from flushing, redness and burning mainly. For the papular subtype it often works wonders, but for the vascular subtype it can just as well cause iriitation of the skin and more redness, I and many rosaceans on The Rosacea Forum found. Treating the flushing is the toughest aspect of rosacea often and not enough dermatologists look outside the traditional box of metrocream and antibiotics unfortly

[@salliehasan6812]

I have it and im 13 and its soo hard to go to school everyday because I have more spots and very very bad red skins

[@abbie1221]

i started wearing makeup ti hide my rosacea but now if i go to school without makeup on i get heavily bullied

[@xxAmbiexBiersack]

My biggest triggers is when it gets too cold or too hot, chocolate, alcohol, smoke, hot drinks, anything spicy. And it's a pain in the ass. My Rosacea gets out of control freaking fast. Especially on my nose and cheeks. It gets super red and irritated. I don't have fair skin(I'm Hispanic and a bit of in the darker completion) I always accidentally scratch myself and make myself bleed.

[@nabihahkhaliq5799]

If you use foundation, make sure you don't have high volumes of oil or alcohol in the product as these can also be triggers

[@xxAmbiexBiersack]

Nabihah Khaliq I'm a makeup artist and I'm currently going to school for my Esthetician license. So I've learned a lot since I posted this lol

[@Kiddlekud]

+fabstyles q Hi! My mom is suffering from this (we're also hispanic and she has light brown skin). We've been looking for a natural cure all over and I was wondering if you have possibly found something that works for you?

[@roxcyn]

Prosacea gel might be something to try.

[@brianmarks9574]

I have that problem and what I found to help extremely well is that washing my hair with selsun blue The Medicaid it one and after I wash my hair with that and let it sit for a little while I rinse it and put a little on my face and it really helps I hope it helps you

Yup :( same here and I'm STILL red

[@DorisDayMDCosmeticDermatology]

There are a number of possibilities, rosacea is among them. It would be worth seeing your dermatologist to evaluate for you and offer a treatment plan to reduce the redness and also minimize it from recurring or progressing. One thing is critical and that is that you use sun protection every day all year round. Regards, Dr Day

[@svetlanpeacock564]

Doris Day MD You are very stupid

[@WolfDOuka]

I'm 18 turning 19 and I have had rosacea for two years already. I have tried the proper medical route, but it was a medical spa, referred to me by my mom's friend who's son has skin issues (different than mine) that was my miracle. I'm now on a cleanser, toner and moisturizer routine, twice a day. I avoid the sun and try to not be stressed as much.

[@Martin-oz6lr]

Wow that was young to have rosacea. Hope you've found even better remedies over the years 🙏

[@kajsiegler7225]

I think rosacea is basicly just alot of hair vessels in your skin (my rosacea is caused by fitness, I believe in my case) which cause to expend and constrict depending on stress/warmth or any other factor which influences the blood circulatory system. Having large pores on top of those bloodvessels cause the pores to get clogged quickly which can then expand into more stimulation of blood circulation because of inflammation of the pores.

[@MsTainteddove]

I got it at 35, told the Dermatologist what I thought it was, they called in a much older DR who agreed, it was NOT that, instead it was just burst blood vessels in my face due to a bad burn, to use makeup that's better. So for the next 10 years it only got worse and worse with only at Menopause (45), did I get finally diagnosed with, tada.... Rosacea. I was given 1 medication, then another, then another then it was a combination of two that finally helped. I still have to avoid stressers!

[@Nrisagieri]

Stress I think is my biggest trigger of all. The sun always makes my skin super red and also lack of sleep. If I get enough sleep the sun's effect on my skin is lessened. I think the summer heat wave along with my obsession with aragola (I ate the stuff everyday) was my initial trigger. The aragola especially, and since then aragola, spinach and other vegetables seem to also cause flare ups in my case.

[@injanhoi1]

I've finally accepted it I have this. I haven't been formally diagnosed but mine is similar to the image shown in 0.57. Funny thing I didn't really care about it before and my parents never said anything. My Dad seems to have it at times so mine could be hereditary. My Rosacea flares up in the summer. This skin issue seem to have developed in my mid 30s. I did have a lot of acne when I was a teenager and my skin is very oily.

[@laceyboop]

I started a keto diet and my rosacea is almost completely gone. Sugar is the worst along with wheat and dairy. I cheated on Thanksgiving and not only did my skin break out but my gut felt like crap too. I fasted for 36 hours and all the redness and breakouts are gone. Now I know I can never go back to a traditional diet without suffering the consequences. Rosacea is without a doubt a gut issue.

[@MsTainteddove]

I'm on metrogel and Finacea BOTH on my face. I use it only once a day to avoid any owies but, twice a day when it gets a flare up. It takes away the bumps in no more than 48 hours. In another 48 the red is a soft pink, like makeup. If I miss days and my stress or heat/cold is out of wack, then my rosacea swells and itches and burns. I hate it! I'm 48 now. When I was 35 the doctors misdiagnoised me and I never got help until over 10 years later. It's much worse now. See your derm!!

[@madronaway]

To be clear, Metronidazole, marketed under the brand name Metrogel, is an antibiotic. For more information see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronidazole Also, Doxycycline, marketed under the brand name Oracea, is also an antibiotic. For more information see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxycycline

[@DorisDayMDCosmeticDermatology]

Metronidazole is not an antibiotic. Also Oracea is doxycyline but in a very low timed release dose and at this dose is not an antibiotic.

[@MysticMavi]

If you have rosacea, PLEASE be very careful with using tea tree oil. I used on my rosacea and it made it so much worse. Your skin might be allergic for it.

[@PSNyounowut2do]

ME 2!!!!...and When people point it out or when the heat is on is the worst

[@e1r2i3k415]

Yeah i have acne. As for sunlight it doesn't bother my face. The sun kinda irritates my skin, but i tan easily. I live in the desert and it's pretty much always sunny here too in New Mexico, it doesn't get that hot here though.

[@skateata1]

I was born with rosy red cheeks and very sensitive skin. I'm not 100% it's rosacea, because it is constant and I don't get irritation unless I use something fragranced on it. I've read about green products, but I find they make my white areas of skin look green, so it's important to only put it on the red areas.

[@mrlafayette1964]

Hi, nothing wrong with rosy red cheeks,but rosacea,which I've been diagnosed with is different.I have a mild case and if I rub or scratch the area even just a little bit it becomes highly irritated.Was told by a dermatologist that all people with rosacea have that.

[@skateata1]

mrlafayette1964 thank you for the information. I'm always up for learning.

[@mrlafayette1964]

rosacea is not mange..ya ya

[@JohnnyDeppforlifee]

+Ryan Carr what do you use ? What have u been prescribed ? Does your fave turn very red for no reason and burns when u come in from outside to a warmer house? Mine is a red pimple like rash on cheeks and across and rashy on forehead and slightly on chin ..I'm so sad , I always been a blusher and now I blush at anything ..my face goes red just by moving around..It's crazy.. So hard to live with and I feel so ugly :( any input is awesome

[@skateata1]

+Ryan Carr I rarely get acne. the dermatologist said that I would never go through the activities because of my sensitive skin

[@atiflara6206]

I just found out that I have rosacea. its frustrating.

[@mariofec311]

Same brother , we could get in touch and form a rosacea bro connection or something

[@SC-uy4ny]

Room for one more? ☹️

[@luvtobeabookaholic]

my self confidence sucks, i feel really bad i cant wear makeup because i have dray skin and in school is the worst place for me i just flare up at whatever

[@katethespidermonkey]

i don't mind talking about it :) no i haven't had any treatment, mainly because i haven't been able to find any in my area or anything that's affordable. i've tried a million different creams etc and the only one that's appeared to have any effect is Clinique's redness solutions urgent relief cream which i use pretty much every day. it's not instant but after using it for around a month i have noticed it calming slightly :)

[@sallyl11]

I have rosacea, showed it's self 24 years ago. You can not tell I have now. Since becoming an aesthetician I have found ways to keep it under control. I have clients that I have helped do the same. It does start with keeping the skin exfoliated but with the right products that will not flare it up. It is a delicate balance. Another thing that can will help as well is green tea extract

[@etienneforget2876]

randy Cooper more info please ??

[@abbyrosacea]

Different approaches for different people, but one thing to keep in mind are some of the common denominators - stress, spicy food, heat, cold, etc. IMO such extremes cause toxin flushes from the liver which come thru the skin at the weakest points. Take L-Lysine to strengthen your skin and love your liver!

[@jilllovesmusic]

May have been plugging products, but was very helpful nevertheless. Thank you !

[@paige1luv]

Why doesn't anyone ever talk about gut health in relation to disease?! .. Oh yeah, that's right 🙄 it's because there's no money in actually curing disease...

[@MrAaronpbrfc]

Exactly! Even if they found a cure, u bet your ass they'll keep it from us so that they can keep making money from our suffering.

[@msinvincible2000]

True! But honestly, I won't change what I eat to apease rosacea. After all, it's just an aesthetical problem. I already never drink alcohol, and that will be all

[@lisowzki]

I have had it since 13, first year high school.

[@adrianahernandez4993]

Thank you for all your info. Was diagnosed with rosacea 1 1/2 months ago. Dermatologist did not even know why my eyes were puffy red and having styes all the time. Ocular rosacea... First 3 days of using her prescribed meds (antibiotic & topical) my face broke out even worse than ever. I freaked out and called dr again. Just gave me different meds. No clue, she was guessing what to do. What a joke of a Dr. Needless to say, I'm not going back to her...after a month I'm still red on my right cheek..

[@digitized_soul]

I'm grateful mine doesn't hurt but I still get the bumps and burning red cheeks. Sometimes it spreads to my forehead. So what's the absolute best treatment out there? Is there a cream I can simply buy at Walgreens or do I need to actually go see someone for a prescription?

[@casperdevries2310]

Did you know rosacea often goes along with a bacterial infectio, so called Staph aureus bacteria? I recently tried a new product called Gladskin. My redness has been reduced with more than 90%. They say it only works when this specific bacteria is involved and its often the case in skin diseases such as rosacea, eczema and acne. I thought I had to share this with you guys. Only problem of the product is, i think its quite expensive, but I feel more happy now and I look much better so for me its definitly worth it.

[@DorisDayMDCosmeticDermatology]

Sulfa-based products can be helpful, but I would say that you should consider trying one designed specifically for the face.

[@mickfizz1]

This is a good overall but it is still is a very basic overview, as it is a very complex facial skin disorder and often eye disease as well. tt can have many triggers that cause flare ups of flushing and redness and the often associated real physical burning pain with the face and the eyes, as in my severe case! It can be hell for many sufferers!

I use a cream with tea tree oil for rosacea I have had since my early twenties and it works a treat. No redness, no spots and super smooth skin. Mine must be caused by the demodex mites because tea tree oil kills those.

[@JohnnyDeppforlifee]

This is really late but what cream did you use ? I am getting worse :(

[@pamela2861]

Could you be more specific on the product you used?

[@nabihahkhaliq5799]

+Pamela you can try using the bodyshop tea tree oil range and pure tea tree oil. I've been using the range alongside with pure tea tree oil (which I dilute in water so that my skin doesn't burn then gently dab it on to my skin) once it is absorbed I use the body shop tea tree night lotion and massage it into my face before I get into bed. I have been following this routine for about a month and honestly do see a difference. I would also like to add that it does look a lot worse before you see a difference! Good luck and I hope it works for you.

[@flowers120]

May you please tell me the name/brand of the tea tree oil? Thank you, Norma

[@brucenickson2535]

ipl laser treatment is the best solution for this case. i have got rosacea and my face is red and flares up at certain things, achohol, spicy foods and tangy things are triggers but the weather and phyiscal activity are the worst for me. i seem to spend 50% of my day thinking and wondering about my face and what i can do to make it better or what other people might thing about you and i wouldn't wish it on anybody. i booked a course of 6 ipl laser sessions tbc

[@Rollwithit699]

Could the cause be demodex mites?

[@96Elsaa]

my rosacea started when i was 11.... my dermatologist at first didn't believe me, said i was to young, and treated me for acne. didn't work. now i'm treated for rosacea, anybody else with the same experience?

[@christinedalton9899]

I use normal bar soap, sea breeze and then a layer of Prosacea twice a day and my flare ups are gone.

[@kajsiegler7225]

First of all, i tried many, i repeat MANY cremes for my face. NONE worked so far (zinc oxide containing only dries out my skin more and makes it flaky, other cremes grease my skin and cause more papustles since i got wide pores). I had this for about 3 years and was tired of it. I had many medications (hydrocortison, metronidazol creme, Azelaic acid all topical antibiotics. all of those topical medications didnt work. Then I went to the dermatologist.

[@e1r2i3k415]

Damn, I had it since I was a kid too, but i didn't know i had it until my mom told me why my cheeks were always so rosey. Must be hard, especially in H.S.

[@jsbach15]

Very informative however, that is little done with occular rosacea other than warm compresses, cleanings lids and eyelashes and using non-preservative lubricating eye drops.

[@LikeTotallyDouchey]

its better to consult a dermatologist than just pick a medication in the drugstore. I just take an antibiotic once every two days after 2 month my breakouts literally stopped. After 3 months my face turned so clear. best decision in my life

[@mickfizz1]

+Ryan Carr Antibiotics only act in an anti- inflammatory way in this disease .They do not kill the demodex mite or reduce their numbers as far as we know!

[@mickfizz1]

+Ryan Carr .. Can you please tell me what is the active ingredient in Soolantra and by what method that it acts to reduce the severity of the condition.... Does it act as an anti- parasitic, i assume ?

[@kajsiegler7225]

When I went to the dermatologist I had different medications (oral antibiotics) The first one was called: clarithromycin this one worked quite well, my redness (and that warm hot feeling you get when sitting in a place with alot of people like in a train) and papustles lowered. After that period with those pills were done, i had Elidel Gel(anti redness gel, doesnt really works that great) metronidazol and azelic acid. Those didnt work and in the end i had a 10mg Roaccutane for 3 months

[@Yasangelo2]

[@SC-uy4ny]

why would smoking weed make it worse lol the only way i could see weed making it worse is if you get anxiety or stress when your high, thus raising your blood pressure. I got rosacea and smoke weed and nothing happens to me lol :s smoke the trees, there organic, lol

[@gwendolynwong3577]

Sun is a triggering factor for the rosacea on my nose (with large pores and minor bumps). Every time I apply sunscreen, the white residues would get stuck in my large pores, which cannot be removed by any gentle cleanses that I've tried. I don't put on anything (not even moisturizer) for my nose in fear of clogging the pores and triggering flareups. My nose is not flaring but it has remained RED for YEARS now. Is there any way to get around the large pores so that I can protect the skin?

[@christyk97]

[@donnacone4714]

Can I use a derma roller on my face?? I've started having a rosacea spell in this last week,never had trouble with it till a few years ago but in the last week it's been worse,I have pneumonia just getting over it. Could the medication I'm on have anything to do with it? Thanks 😊

[@danib4295]

If you have Rosacea dont ever use a derma roller. Rosacea is destruction on your skin and the derma roller is also destruction on the skin to eventually promote healing for many benefits. Problem is the rosacea and the roller combined will just cause more breakage and therefore more irritation. Ive tried it and it made it worse.

[@emmuelrobbin5094]

good advise

[@kajsiegler7225]

Because Rosacea dries out the skin, having alcohol only dries out the skin more, having large pores an oil based cream or make up will clog the pores. You need an moisterizer which is based on a non oil base with no alcohol (or alcohol denat.) If it itches or makes your skin red it isn't suited for you. Furthermore, a grean concealer works great for covering up the redness (again chalk dries out the skin, find one without it on a mineral base)

[@josephbryan5903]

can you please spell out the cream for the discoloration

[@QueenSahperia]

I developed it when I was fourteen. It is so embarrassing.

same hear, i've had it since 11 -.- & im 17 now...sucks..

[@kajsiegler7225]

The roaccutane works really good. It does dries out your skin(and lips) and in my case i had a bit of more hair loss(or so it seemed). Right now im done with taking 1 pill per day for 3 months, it lowered my symptons i had before with at least 50%. The next step I will take (if it comes back for the worse/or not lessens) is IPL laser.

Hi Erik. Are you male as well? I assume so. I have mine on my nose, it is always red and is bumpy (used to be so much bumpier before metronidazole). I have rosy cheeks as well. May I just ask..does cold weather help ease your flushing? Here in my place it is so damn fucking hot i always flush.

[@MssNatski]

Oracea often does not help for facial flushing and erythema, and tends to work much better for the papular subtype (acne like paps) and occular rosacea. I have severe vascular rosacea with flushing, burning and redness and I found some controle with medication that my London prof. dermatologists prescribed me, called clonidine. I also use remeron (low dose) that works on the central nervous system (flushing) and a beta blocker. For more information, I have a wegblog, scarletnat.blogspot.com.

[@SwXtchi]

I know what the cause of rosacea is. there are disturbances in the pituitary gland and hormones. Go to the doctor and have a full check. It may be a big reason why some have it and not.

[@SwXtchi]

it all starts in the brain.

[@SwXtchi]

is quite disappointed that doctors and scientists have not researched enough on what really is the cause. Demodex mite, Helicobacter pylori. Too much Cathelicidin in the blood , Gluten Allergy, histamine allergy, too much acid in the body .. etc. All of this can be an aggravating factor, but is not the real cause.

[@DigitalDel1]

Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevisare

[@mickfizz1]

+DigitalDel1 ...The demodex mite is not proven to be the SOLE cause of rosacea in anyone with the condition! It seems to be implicated in it's cause and progression but just exactly how and why has not yet been proven either

But no after those first 10 session you are done. then you can go once every year or once ever two years if you like but the process takes like 2 years when you start but you can stop whenever you like. it feels like someone taking a rubber band and snapping your face but its quick

[@donotmissDutch]

I am 59 and still have it. Use neemOil to kill the mites at night and use rosewater and deadseamask and palmoil!
