What Is Rosacea?

Many have often wondered what exactly is rosacea? Is there one thing that defines rosacea as a condition or is it more of a group of symptoms that lead to the diagnosis of rosacea? In a definition provided by the International Rosacea Foundation, rosacea is an inflammation of the skin with resulting facial redness (erythema) and symptoms of vasculation of spidery blood vessels (telangiectasia), swelling (hyperplasia), rosacea papules (red solid elevated inflammatory skin lesion without pus). Rosacea's more pronounced symptoms can vary in intensity when exacerbated. Rosacea has often been described as a progressive disorder; however, the rosacea symptoms do not have to become progressively worse. Rosacea can be controlled, managed and improved easily and quickly.

The Research team at Rosacea-Ltd were the pioneers in research studies of skin diseases that can and often do co-exist with rosacea. Our findings are that the patients with rosacea have adult acne or "acne rosacea" (raised red lesions with pus caused by a bacterial component that comes to a head before erupting from a white/yellow center) to co-exist with rosacea in approximately 82 percent of rosacea sufferers while 35 percent have seborrheic dermatitis which makes for a most delicate rosacea skin condition. These three co-existing skin conditions often lead initially to mis-diagnosis or delayed diagnosis of rosacea. This delay in the diagnosis of rosacea can result in increased mental suffering or embarrassment for the rosacea patient and thefore rosacea has been known as a 'chronic progressive disease. Treatments such as retinoids, accutane, steroids, laser therapy, and antibiotics have not worked very well and often aggravate, redden or thinned the skin which can cause further sensitivity as most acne products are too aggressive for rosacea. Our objective with Rosacea-Ltd III is to simply do the opposite of most rosacea treatments by leaving the sensitive rosacea skin intact on the face. Most rosacea sufferers have been frustrated for years and spent much money in their search for the best rosacea treatment. Controlling rosacea is easier and more effective the earlier treatment is begun.

Why does Rosacea-Ltd recommend Cetaphil?

Cetaphil® "gentle cleansing bar for dry, sensitive skin" which can be purchased at your local drug store or pharmacy, has given the best results for skin with rosacea. Wash the affected area with Cetaphil® gentle cleansing bar as needed which would be one or two times per day. Please do not pick the Cetaphil® Skin Cleanser in a plastic bottle containing two alcohols, the Cetaphil® anti-bacterial, nor the Cetaphil® Bar for oily skin as all three are too harsh for the eczema sufferer. You will also probably be very happy using Cetaphil® 'gentle cleansing bar for dry sensitive skin' over the entire body.

My skin is very dry and irritated, can you recommend a moisturizer that is safe for use with rosacea?

Moisturizers can be helpful in protecting the skin from dryness. Rosacea-Ltd suggests using 100% pure Jojoba oil with no preservatives. Why does Rosacea-Ltd recommends Jojoba oil? The importance of Jojoba oil derives from its similarity to the natural restorative oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the dermal layers of the skin. Jojoba oil is non-allergenic and will not clog the pores. Jojoba is completely miscible with the natural sebum of the skin, and when used on the skin, forms a very thin, non-greasy lipoid layer. This layer is partially porous and provides exceptional trans-epidermal respiration and moisture control. Unlike greasy occlusive materials such as petrolatum, mineral oils and some lanolin products, Jojoba oil provides an absolutely non-tacky, non-oily and non-greasy, dry softening to the skin.

Where can I find additional research information about rosacea and rosacea treatment?
