Rosacea-Ltd Statistics Show Acne and Rosacea Can and Do Apppear Together

Patients with rosacea symptoms often have adult acne to co-exist with their rosacea in approximately 82% of rosacea patients and an additional 35% have seborrheic dermatitis or hives which makes for a most sensitive treatment skin condition. Adult acne rosacea treatments such as retinoids and other exfoliating medications and anti-aging and anti-wrinkle products are too aggressive by inflaming the sensitive rosacea skin even more.

Acne does not cause rosacea, but many of the medications used in the treatment of acne can contribute to the onset and/or aggravation of rosacea symptoms. People with rosacea may be prone to prolonged episodes of facial flushing and tend to develop numerous "broken" blood vessels (telangiectasias) and over grown oil glands on the face and neck (sebaceous hyperplasia). In more advanced cases, these oil glands may merge on the nose to give a strawberry type nose (rhinophyma). Eyelid irritations (blepharitis), as well as other types of eye problems, are also associated with rosacea. Rosacea and acne are two entirely different conditions, although they do appear together sometimes.

Clogged skin pores and bacterial infections cause acne. The blackheads, whiteheads and pimples are all different forms of acne and sometimes appear with rosacea or combined skin disorders appearing at the same time. Rosacea consists of red bumps called papules. The papules and pustules that occur in rosacea may look like typical acne, but closer observation by a trained physician reveals the absence of whiteheads and blackheads. In rosacea, the pimples and cysts rarely appear on the chest and back.

Rosacea And Topical Steroid Use

2009-09-16T10:32:00.006-06:00

In the treatment of severe facial eczema, one may be prescribed a limited time dose of a topical steroid. Initially the anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects of the topical steroids result in what appears to be clearance of the primary dermatitis. Cortisones work by decreasing inflammation, swelling, burning and itching at the site of application. When applied in an ointment they can help the skin maintain moisture. In general steroid ointments are stronger than steroid creams because the medicine penetrates better when in an ointment form.

Topical steroids are generally used to treat the symptoms of eczema, a skin condition characterized by itchy, red, scaly skin. They are also used for other inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. They don't cure the conditions but can ease the symptoms. They work by reducing inflammation of the skin and thus easing the symptoms of itching, redness and swelling that occur with many skin conditions.

When a rosacea patient is treated for a prolonged time with topical steroids the disorder may at first respond, but inevitably the signs of steroid atrophy emerge with thinning of the skin and marked increase in telangiectases. The complexion becomes dark red with a copper-like hue. Soon the surface becomes studded with round, follicular, deep papulopustules, firm nodules, and even secondary comedones. The appearance is shocking with a flaming red, scaling, and papule-covered face.

Topical steroids frequently cause thinning of the skin if used for long periods of time. They can also cause acne-like pustules, dermatitis, broken blood vessels under the skin, stretch marks, loss of skin color (which may clear-up on stopping treatment) and, when used on the face, a rosacea-like disorder (reddening of the skin), also known as steroid rosacea. Other side effects can include itching, easy bruising, and in some cases skin infection.

The persistent use of topical steroids leads to epidermal atrophy, degeneration of dermal structure, and collagen deterioration after several months. Ultimately the skin develops the appearance of rosacea, and it is rendered extremely vulnerable to bacterial, viral, and fungal infection. Patients persist in using steroid creams or ointments because they have typically learned the hard way about the severe rebound inflammation that occurs if they stop. In short, they find themselves caught between rosacea like steroid dermatitis and the erythematous pustular eruptions of steroid rebound.

Steroid rosacea is an avoidable rosacea condition, which in addition to disfigurement is accompanied by severe discomfort and pain. Withdrawal of the steroid treatment is inevitably accompanied by exacerbation of the rosacea like symptoms.

On initial assessment, it can be very difficult to distinguish between true rosacea and its steroid-induced mimic. The neck and scalp are often the giveaway, said Dr.Roger Allen of the University Hospital, Nottingham, England. Steroid-induced rosacea is often diffuse, extending from the face down along the neck. In balding men, the scalp is often affected. True rosacea tends to be less diffuse. Unfortunately there is no easy way to resolve steroid-induced rosacea, short of ceasing steroid use. This is, admittedly, a hard sell to patients who have already experienced the severe erythema, edema, and pustular eruptions associated with steroid rebound. Topical or systemic antibiotics may be needed if the patient has a bacterial infection. Cold chamomile tea compresses are a soothing adjunct for patients in the throes of steroid backlash. It is important to understand the rebound phenomenon in steroid induced rosacea. The rosacea sufferer is often baffled by their observation that the same medicine that was so effective in clearing their primary dermatoses or acne is now causing this distressing rosacea like condition, and that their skin gets markedly worse if they stop treatment. Prudence in steroid use is essential. Patients with seborrheic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, or other dermatoses simply should not be treated with topical corticosteroids.

PERIORAL DERMATITIS

2009-11-02T11:49:00.002-07:00

When treating the symptoms of rosacea, one may observe a rosacea-like eruption around the mouth area. Known as perioral dermatitis. This rosacea-like inflammation generally consists of small red bumps or even pus bumps and mild peeling as the skin is extremely aggravated. Perioral dermatitis is often aggravated by fluoridated or tartar-control toothpaste, chapstick, the ingredients in lipstick, and mouthwash. It is also believed that topical steroids, residue from asthma inhalers t containing steroids, cinnamon, cosmetics, and even moisturizers contribute to perioral dermatitis. Hormones, sunlight, and stress can cause perioral dermatitis to be more severe. Perioral dermatitis is a common skin problem that mostly affects young women, however, occasionally men and children are affected by it. Perioral dermatitis may be considered a variant of rosacea or a as distinct and separate skin condition.

Rosacea And Rhinophyma

2009-10-22T08:32:00.001-06:00

Rhinophyma has been observed from ancient times in Greece and Arabia but first named by Hebrea in 1845. The term rhinophyma stems from the Greek words: Rhis (Greek for nose) and phyyma (Greek for growth). A year later in 1846, rhinophyma was first associated with rosacea. Daniel Sennert performed the first known surgery for rhinophyma in 1629.

Rhinophyma is a form of rosacea that is characterized by chronic redness, inflammation, and increased tissue growth of the nose. In the early stages it may be seen as nasal bumps. Rhinophyma commonly occurs as a result of untreated rosacea. As more bumps appear, the nose takes on a more swollen, misshapen appearance. Rhinophyma can take on many different forms. In most forms, the nose is chronically red and inflamed. There is also evidence of swelling, and the skin often shows thickened skin with large pores, resembling the peel of an orange (peau d' orange). In some forms, sebaceous gland hypertrophy and hyperplasia (increased growth and number of sebaceous glands) can cause the nose to grow considerably, resulting in a bulbous appearance. It is a more severe form of acne rosacea. The cause is not really known.

Rhinophyma has been associated with many causes such as the over-consumption of alcohol. No consistent causative factor has been identified to date. Men are 12 times more likely to have this problem than women.

Symptoms of rhinophyma include an overgrowth of the sebaceous skin glands, vessel and tissue growth in the deeper layers of the skin, and a thickening of the outer layer of the skin. This can make for a very obvious and prominent nose.

Non-surgical treatment for rhinophyma is similar to rosacea care and includes attention to skin hygiene, avoidance of foods that seem to worsen the condition and the use of antibiotics when small infections are present.

Rhinophyma is actually a slow growing benign tumor due to hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands of the tip of nose often seen in cases of long-standing rosacea. Rhinophyma appears as a pink, lobulated mass over the nose with superficial vascular dilation; mostly affects men past middle age. Rosacea patient seeks advicenad treatment because of the unsightly appearance of the tumor, or obstruction in breathing and vision due to the large size of the tumor. Treatment consists of paring down the bulk of the tumor with sharp knife or carbondioxide laser and the area allowed to re-epithelialise. Sometimes, tumor is completely excised and the raw area skin-grafted.

The Early Stages of Rosacea

2009-10-15T09:19:00.002-06:00

The earliest recognizable stage of rosacea is called pre-rosacea. That blush of embarrassment that may pop up at an inopportune moment. The classic symptoms of pre-rosacea are patchy diffuse redness or flushing and inflammation, particularly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and around the mouth. Pre-rosacea symptoms typically appear between the ages of 30 and 50 and may affect more women than men. Because the symptoms emerge slowly, rosacea may initially be mistaken for sunburn, leading to a delay in treatment.

Although rosacea may first appear as early as the teen years, rosacea most frequently begins when sufferers enter their 30s, 40s or 50s as a flushing or transient redness on the cheeks or nose, and in some cases the chin or forehead. In this earliest stage, some sufferers may report stinging or burning sensations, including the feeling of dry or tight skin.

The signs and symptoms at this stage of rosacea include frequent episodes of flushing and redness of the face and neck that come and go. Many things can trigger a flushing episode, including exposure to the sun, emotional stress, alcohol, spicy foods, exercise, cold wind, hot foods and beverages, and hot baths. What causes flushing in one person may not cause a problem in another.

Flushing usually occurs when the body becomes fatigued and/or stressed which stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. The key to this is the autonomic nervous system (more specifically, the sympathetic postganglionic efferent nerves). Any activation of these nerves causes vasoconstriction of "body blood vessels" -- except in the "facial blush/flush areas" where it induces potent vasodilatation or flushing with the resulting "rosacea flush".

The early signs and symptoms of rosacea may also occur as a result of products used to treat other skin conditions such as acne. As adults, when we get acne we have a tendency to treat it the same way we did as teenagers – our old acne over the counter cream or lotion packed with high concentrations of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and sometimes even topical vitamin A products.

As our skin ages we find that the skin doesn't respond the same way to these acne products as it did when we were younger. The result is red blotchy areas, more breakouts; the facial skin may react by becoming oilier or dryer with increased skin sensitivity. In trying to control this, we apply even more and stronger treatments to our skin, but instead of seeing an improvement; we actually see more damage and skin-related issues as the skin creates more oil to protect it from the damage and abuse of these harsh chemicals. Thus creating a vicious cycle of over-medicating the skin causing increased facial redness, clogged pores and skin irritation.

Understanding Rosacea Papules

2009-07-28T10:06:00.002-06:00

Rosacea Papules are a small, red solid elevated inflammatory skin lesion without pus that is minor when the size is of a small measles lesion, moderate when about the size of a pencil eraser and severe when the papule is the size of a small currency coin or the tip of the little finger. The top of the papule may be flat, pointed, or rounded. Rosacea papules should not be mistaken for acne papules, which are common lesions in acne. Rosacea papules do not contain pus, while acne papules do contain pus.

Rosacea papules are small, red solid elevated inflammatory skin lesions without pus that are considered minor when the size of a small measles lesion, moderate when smaller than the size of a pencil eraser, and severe when the rosacea papule is the size of a small currency coin. Rosacea papules may open when scratched, becoming crusty and infected. A group of very small rosacea papules and microcomedones may be almost invisible but have a sandpaper feel to the touch.

Vascular flushing is a primary cause of rosacea papules. Over time, flushing results in leakage of inflammatory cells out of the blood vessels and into the skin. These inflammatory cells then migrate toward the surface of the skin, resulting in inflammatory papules. Bacteria or demodex mites do not cause facial papules.

Usually observed in stage two rosacea, inflammatory papules may crop up and persist for weeks. Rosacea papules show a small pustule at the apex, justifying the term papulopustular. The lesions are always follicular in origin, mainly in sebaceous follicles but also in the smaller and more numerous vellus follicles. Comedones do not occur. The deeper inflammatory lesions may heal with scarring, but scars are inconspicuous and tend to be shallow. Facial pores become larger and prominent. If there has been much solar exposure over decades, one may observe the appearance of photo-damaged skin in a yellowed, leathered skin (elastosis), wrinkles and solar comedones. The papulopustular attacks becomes more and more frequent. Finally, rosacea may extend over the entire face and even spread to the scalp, especially if the patient is balding. Itchy follicular papules of the scalp are typical. Eventually, the sides of the neck as well may be affected.

THE CONTROVERSY OVER ORAL ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY AND ROSACEA

2009-07-08T11:31:00.003-06:00

Antibiotics are used to reduce the symptoms of rosacea, including redness, pimples, and red lines on the face (telangiectasia), and thick bumps on the nose (rhinophyma), and to reduce the symptoms that accompany eye involvement in rosacea. Antibiotics may reduce overall inflammation that occur with rosacea. Antibiotics also reduce the number of acne pimples and the amount of facial redness around pimples.

In the treatment of rosacea, a typical course of antibiotics would begin with an oral antibiotic, such as tetracycline. Oral antibiotics are usually tapered off after the rosacea symptoms improve because long-term use of oral antibiotics is associated with side effects. Bacteria build immunity to topical and oral antibiotics within 3 to 5 months; therefore they lose their effectiveness. It is important to note that a possible side effect of oral antibiotics is facial redness, photo or sun sensitivity and skin irritation.

Public health experts are concerned about antibiotic resistance, a problem that can develop when antibiotics are overused. Over time, bacteria develop new defenses against antibiotics that once were effective against them. Bacteria reproduce quickly; these defenses can be rapidly passed on through generations of bacteria until almost all are immune to the effects of a particular antibiotic. The process happens faster than new antibiotics can be developed. To help control the problem, many experts advise people to use antibiotics only for short periods, and only as directed. An antibiotic that works for one person with rosacea may not work for another.

A new term called "SuperBugs" was coined a few years ago as bacteria mutated to become immune to antibiotics. The first antibiotics were developed post World War II and have been considered miracle drugs until recently as bacteria mutations into antibiotic resistant strains have made them less effective. As the antibiotic fails to kill all the bacteria, the few remaining stains mutate to become resistant to that particular antibiotic. So a different and stronger antibiotic is used, but the mutations or genetic advancement allows the bacteria to tolerate the more stringent antibiotic and the cycle continues.

Laser Therapy for Rosacea: Separating the Myth from Reality

2009-04-22T10:03:00.002-06:00

Rosacea laser treatment has been an option in rosacea treatment for time now, but to date, there have not been a lot of studies to either support or discredit its use in treating rosacea. The National Rosacea Society along with Rebecca Prescott with Acne-to-Health state that, “Despite years of use and significant technological advances, data on the effectiveness and safety of these products is limited. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies laser and light therapies as procedures, so stringent, long-term studies are not required. Most of what is known comes from observations made by dermatologists while treating individual patients.” Note: I wasn’t sure which one of them stole this statement from the other so I gave both credit. Rebecca further states: “IPL is not effective for everyone. However, most patients notice some reduction in dilated blood vessels and redness after only one or two treatments. In one case, a patient’s flush response returned to normal”. In one case the flush response returned to normal? But there have been hundreds if not thousands of procedures that have been performed in the last 40 years.

Rebecca goes on to explain how laser works: “the first working laser was produced in 1960, and they are in common use in medicine today. The laser works by applying energy to subatomic particles; this places them in an 'excited' state and they gain energy. These particles then move back to their original energy level and as they do, they release energy in the form of particles of intensely focused light - the laser. The light emits heat and the laser destroys the targeted tissue of rosacea. Laser treats rosacea by selectively destroying the inflamed, dilated, and hyper-responsive blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin. The laser 'energy' is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (hemoglobin is the molecule in the blood cells that carries oxygen; oxyhemoglobin is hemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen) in the blood. This generates thermal energy that damages the adjacent blood vessel wall blood. The exact intensity of the wavelength is carefully chosen to destroy the dilated blood vessels using thermal energy without significant damage to the surrounding skin and to avoid surface scarring.”

In many diseases, doctors help the body do what it already wants to do. For example, if you get an infection, your doctor prescribes an antibiotic that works together with your body's immune system to clear the infection. Once you're better, you stop taking the antibiotic. In laser therapy your doctor is trying to oppose what your body wants to do. The body wants to make blood vessels grow, while your doctor tries to prevent that growth. Laser treatment can destroy or kill the blood vessels, but sooner or later the body will try to make blood vessels grow again, our bodies have an instinct for survival, rejuvenation and life. As the skin heals and rejuvenates it stands to reason that the blood vessels will re-grow. Then, the treatment needs to be repeated.

The success of rosacea laser treatment can depend on several factors, and there are many treatment protocols and many different types of lasers that can be used; argon, pulse dye, neodymium, carbon dioxide and krypton lasers have all been tried. Multiple treatments are often necessary and these are time consuming and expensive. There is certainly anecdotal evidence for the effectiveness of the laser in clearing up erythrosis and teleangiectasia, and many patients are satisfied. But surprisingly - given that rosacea laser treatment therapy is not new (it's been around since the 1980s) and is in widespread use - there is relatively little substantiated information about how useful it is; there is a distinct lack of controlled studies, and the Food and Drug Administration classifies laser therapy as a procedure, so its effectiveness has not evaluated in the same way as drugs.

Laser cannot be used for everyone. You should not have laser therapy if you have dark skin or a tan, it is contraindicated for people who have disorders of blood clotting, people who easily develop scars (keloids), or people with insulin-dependent diabetes. And although rosacea laser treatment can work for some people, it is not a cure. Relapses are possible and it is possible that the laser can make your rosacea worse.

"Laser therapy is now widely considered the primary treatment for telangiectasia (visible blood vessels) and rhinophyma (enlarged nose), and may also be very effective for reducing extensive redness," said Dr. Philip Bailin, chairman of Dermatology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. "At the same time, medications must continue to be used to manage the papules (bumps) and pustules (pimples) that often go along with rosacea, and to help maintain remission. "Generally, at least three treatments are required at six-week intervals, depending on the severity of redness and telangiectasia," Dr. Bailin said. "Most patients will experience redness, swelling and soreness within the first 12 to 24 hours, but then they subside. Some patients also may have peeling, similar to that of a sunburn, and others may experience some bruising under the skin that lasts five to 10 days. He emphasized that, because of the chronic and relapsing nature of rosacea, patients should be given a proper perspective on their condition, including the need for continuing preventive therapy and avoidance of lifestyle and environmental factors that may trigger flare-ups. "The underlying cause of rosacea will still be there, and further laser treatment may again be required at a later time," he said. "There are no cures for rosacea, only good treatments."

Thinking about laser or light therapy?
If you are considering laser therapy or IPL to treat your rosacea, it is important to keep the following points in mind:

· Laser therapy is not a cure. While some patients experience dramatic results (such as the return of a normal flushing response) and the results can be long-lasting, neither laser nor light therapy cures rosacea. You still need to continue to see your dermatologist for treatment and avoid your personal rosacea triggers. To maintain results, additional laser or light treatment may be needed at a later time.

· Some patients not candidates for laser therapy. Do you have a suntan or any of the following medical conditions?

o Clotting disorder

o Tendency to develop keloids

o Insulin-dependent diabetes

Anyone with a suntan should not receive laser or light treatments. If you have any of the medical conditions listed above, be sure to tell your dermatologist because these conditions may increase your risk of developing an infection or problems with wound healing. Additionally, laser and light treatments are not recommended during pregnancy, as the effects on pregnancy are unknown.

· Have realistic expectations about the results of laser therapy. Most patients do see improvement; however, with any medical procedure there is always the possibility that you will only see a minor change or not see a response. Rosacea also may worsen. Your dermatologist can determine if you are a good candidate. To date, dermatologists have found that people with lighter skin who limit their sun exposure after the procedure tend to have better results.

· Successful treatment depends on several factors. Several factors — including your skin type, condition of your skin, your lifestyle, and the amount of sun exposure you get following the procedure — affect the short- and long-term results. For example, not protecting your skin from the sun after treatment can provoke a strong reaction, which can make rosacea worse.

· Check credentials, get an experienced dermatologist. As with any surgical technique, finding a dermatologist who is skilled in using lasers or IPL is essential. You should ask prospective doctors about their experience and training in this area. Ask who will be performing the treatment, the dermatologist or their assistant. Extensive experience in performing laser or light procedures helps ensure the best possible results.

· Laser treatment is not covered by insurance. Typically, the laser and light therapies used to treat rosacea are not covered by medical insurance. If you opt for laser or IPL therapy, you can expect to pay from $300 to $600 per treatment session. Laser therapy usually requires one to three treatment sessions to achieve the best results, and sessions are generally spaced four to eight weeks apart. IPL may require one to five sessions. IPL treatments are usually repeated every three weeks. With both laser and IPL, follow-up treatment may be necessary to maintain the results.

Rosacea From Ancient Times To Today

2009-03-31T11:07:00.001-06:00

Rosacea is a long term inflammation characterized by five cardinal symptoms of all inflammation of which the first four were described by Aulus Cornelius Celsus (ca 25 BC—ca 50 of Rome. The fifth symptom of "loss of function" was added by German Pathologist Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow in 1870.

redness (rubor) - Celsus of Rome
increased heat (calor) - Celsus of Rome
swelling (tumor) - Celsus of Rome
pain (dolor) - Celsus of Rome
loss of the capacity to function - (Virchow of Germany)

The redness and heat of rosacea are due to increased blood flow while swelling is caused by accumulation of fluid due to osmosis and diffusion of the potential of hydrogen (or pH). The rosacea skin pain results from the release of chemicals (acidity or low pH) that stimulate nerve endings. The face has many sensory nerve endings. The loss of the capacity to function of a body organ can have many causes but most often it is due to the skin cells inability to regenerate (the skin is body's largest organ) therefore, the skin does not function properly to protect the body. Skin Functions are to protect from pathogens, insulate from the extreme temperatures of hot and cold weather, greatly aids in heat regulation (blood vessels dilate to dissipate heat and constrict to reduce blood flow and conserve heat), maintain an impermeable barrier to fluid loss and most importantly as we see ourselves and as others see us, we consider the attraction of good health.

Why Rosacea-Ltd III Works - Pharmaceutical Mechanism of Action

2008-06-25T11:28:00.004-06:00

We at Bass & Boney are frequently asked about the sulfur content in
Rosacea-Ltd III and whether or not it's safe for people with
allergies to sulfa. The two are so very different. The sulfur in
Rosacea-Ltd III is used only on the skin as it is a natural base
mineral required in the body system, whereas sulfa is a synthetic
material produced on an assembly line for the treatment of bacteria.
As the oral sulfa antibiotic pill is swallowed, the effects are
systemic or throughout the body, whereas the sulfur of less than 1%
in the tan Rosacea-Ltd III disk and less than 2% in the yellow
Rosacea-Ltd III disk and is applied topically. The result is that
an allergy to sulfa does not mean one is allergic to sulfur. Check
out the human body minerals needed for normal functioning with
sulfur being 0.228 % or 150 grams at rosacea-ltd.com/bodymineralsltd.

The amount of sulfur in Rosacea-Ltd III is smaller than any other
product on the market that contains sulfur. And unknown to most
rosacea sufferers, sulfur is an essential element of the body that
is needed for cell regeneration and it's the eighth most abundant
mineral in the human body. The skin is the toughest organ of the
body while the eye is the most fragile organ. The skin can easily
accommodate, absorb and use this smaller amount of sulfur in
improving the rosacea skin. We purposely limited the amount of
sulfur in the disks to an amount that would be effective and
beneficial without the side effect of being too irritating. As we
all have found in treating rosacea, 'less is often more effective'.
A light application is all that's necessary to reap maxium benefits.

Rosacea-Ltd III uses less than the human body average composition
of 'sulfur' in the yellow Rosacea-Ltd III disk and the Rosacea-Ltd
III 'tan' disk even has one half of the amount of sulfur that the
yellow disk has. Those rosacea sufferers that reorder generally
order two yellow Rosacea-Ltd III disk that contain more sulfur.

The Effects of Anti-Wrinkle Creams on Rosacea

2008-11-25T08:29:00.002-07:00

Use of anti-wrinkle creams can result in increased facial redness and skin irritation. Chemical peels and retinoid products are used for the purpose of skin exfoliation, and are not to be used for rosacea. The skin needs to be 'intact' and not to be further aggravated by any chemical or mechanical peels of the below listed means. The objective is to help your body get rid of dead skin cells and to make your body build new skin quicker. Various products available today such as Retin-A, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), and glycolic acid are all designed to burn dead skin cells off. The active agent in all these products is fruit acids.

The problem with using fruit acids such as AHA and BHA is that either you get acids that are very weak that do not remove many dead skin cells and therefore you see little results, or they increase the strength of the acid, and once the acid has burned through the dead cells, it continues on and begins to attack your living skin. If this happens you may experience one or more of the following; burning, redness, irritation and light sensitivity. Another problem with using acids is that the dead cells do not come off immediately; your skin gets white, flaky, and tight as the dead cells fall off over the course of a few days. Using acids is not only uncomfortable; but it can at times do more damage than good.

Alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids are simple organic fruit acids found in nature or synthesized in the laboratory. Beta Hydroxy acids are somewhat different from alpha hydroxy acids in their structure and mode of action. Salicylic acid, a common beta hydroxy acid, has been used for treating acne for decades. In fact, acne treatment remains the primary use for beta hydroxy acids. There are no studies showing that beta hydroxy acids are superior or even equal to alpha hydroxy acids in skin exfoliation or reducing fine wrinkles however for acne, beta hydroxy acids are clearly superior to alpha hydroxy acids.

Over the last decade, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) have increasingly appeared as ingredients in cosmetics intended to reduce the signs of aging in the skin. More recently, beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or a combination of AHAs and BHAs, have appeared as ingredients in these skin care products. While both AHAs and BHAs act as exfoliants, it has been claimed that BHAs are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture, without the occasional irritation associated with the use of AHAs.

I have been using Rosacea-Ltd over a year, and Rosacea-Ltd has helped me so much more than Metrogel. Thank you for this product and I hope you never stop making it. My face feels normal which is a great feeling after having hot inflamed skin for 10 years. Before I began using Rosacea-Ltd, my nose would be a bright red 24/7 with acne on the nose and cheeks. This treatment along with some lifestyle changes keep my face looking normal. Rosacea-Ltd is effective in containing the rosacea.

Sincerely, C.E.

Defining What Is And Isn't Rosacea

2008-10-28T11:12:00.002-06:00

Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a relatively common, chronic skin disorder. Most people have no knowledge of this disease, including how to recognize it and what to do about it. Its classic symptoms are patchy flushing (redness) and inflammation, particularly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and around the mouth. Rosacea typically appears between the ages of 30 and 50 and affects more women than men. Because the symptoms emerge slowly, rosacea may initially be mistaken for sunburn, leading to a delay in treatment.

Rosacea is a hereditary; chronic (long term) skin disorder that most often affects the nose, forehead, cheekbones, and chin (Dr. Berasques). Groups of tiny microvessels (arterioles, capillaries, and venules) close to the surface of the skin become dilated, resulting in blotchy red areas with small papules (a small, red solid elevated inflammatory skin lesion without pus) and pustules (pus-filled inflammatory bumps). The redness can come and go, but eventually it may become permanent. Furthermore, the skin tissue can swell and thicken and may be tender and sensitive to the touch. Note: Pustules are NOT pimples. Pimples have a bacterial component to their makeup and are also mainly localized in and around the hair follicles.

Although it may first appear as early as the teen years, rosacea most frequently begins when sufferers enter their 30s, 40s or 50s as a flushing or transient redness on the cheeks or nose, and in some cases the chin or forehead. In this earliest stage, some patients may report stinging or burning sensations, including the feeling of dry or tight skin.

The following conditions can have symptoms similar to rosacea:

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. Acne affects most teenagers to some extent, but can also affect adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s. While there is no permanent cure for acne, it is controllable.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Psoriasis causes the skin to become inflamed, while producing red, thickened areas with silvery scales. This persistent skin disease occurs most often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. In some cases, psoriasis is so mild that people don't know they have it. At the opposite extreme, severe psoriasis may cover large areas of the body.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the word Eczema is used to describe all kinds of red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, thickened, and itching skin conditions.

The word atopic describes a group of allergic or associated diseases that often affect several members of a family. These families may have allergies such as hay fever and asthma, but also have skin eruptions called Atopic Dermatitis.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Poison Ivy Rash is caused by a substance called urushiol, found in the sap of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Poison Sumac. In those who are sensitive, urushiol causes a reaction in the form of a line or streak of rash (sometimes resembling insect bites) within 12-48 hours. Redness and swelling will be followed by blisters and severe itching. In a few days, the blisters become crusted and begin to scale. The rash will usually take about ten days to heal, sometimes leaving small spots. The rash can affect almost any part of the body, especially areas where the skin is thin.

Insect Bites and Stings can produce local inflammatory reactions that may vary in appearance. Acute reactions may appear as hives; more chronic reactions may appear as inflammatory papule (circumscribed, solid elevations on the skin) or may be characterized by a blister or blisters.

Understanding the cause of your facial redness is the key to treating and controlling the condition.

The Ingredients In Rosacea-Ltd

2008-10-21T07:59:00.002-06:00

The Rosacea-Ltd III ingredients consist of:

Zinc oxide. Various medical physicians for the treatment of inflammatory acne have used topically applied zinc for decades. They have used zinc either as the primary ingredient or in conjunction with other anti-acne medications. Currently, zinc is found in several different active forms in hundreds of over-the-counter skin care products and anti-acne medications. Topically applied zinc has been shown to have a potent anti-septic effect (Drs. Provost and Farmer). More specifically, evidence suggests that zinc has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal actions, as well as mild anti-inflammatory actions. Zinc oxide has been used as a natural, mineral derived “skin protecting” sunscreen agent; an antiseptic, an astringent, and a soothing base in creams and lotions. Zinc oxide offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide is an ingredient in many skin preparations that has a mild astringent action and soothing effect. It can be used to treat painful, itchy or moist skin conditions.

Magnesium stearate. Magnesium stearate is known for its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory actions, by which they reduce redness better than antibiotics, and their vascular constrictor action, which reduces overall facial redness whereas no other products constricts the dilated skin vessels as these ingredients do so well.

Sodium chloride. Sodium chloride has long been well known for its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory actions, by which they reduce redness better than antibiotics, and their vascular constrictor action, which reduces overall facial redness whereas no other products constricts the dilated skin vessels as these ingredients do so well.

Iron oxide. Iron oxide is a naturally occurring compound of iron and oxygen. Used as a natural colorant. This is used to distinguish between the two disks. The tan colored disk contains less sulfur than the yellow/white colored disk. It’s a good ‘starter’ or daytime disk.

Copper oxide. Copper oxide has been found effective for its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory actions, by which they reduce redness better than antibiotics, and their vascular constrictor action, which reduces overall facial redness whereas no other products constricts the dilated skin vessels as these ingredients do so well.

And sulfur. For over two decades, sulfur has been used for the treatment of rosacea, and clinical studies have demonstrated that it is extremely effective in the treatment of rosacea-related papules and pustules. Many dermatologists tailor rosacea treatments to the individual by varying the concentration of sulfur in a given preparation (from 2 percent to 15 percent sulfur). Because rosacea is a chronic disease, treatment must usually be continued for a long period of time. For this reason, Drs. Blom and Hornmark were interested in a non-toxic, topically administered treatment that would be as effective as orally administered drugs such as antibiotics. To date, these medical physicians use topical sulfur as their primary anti-rosacea treatment (Drs. Blom and Hornmark). In a double-blind clinical study of 40 rosacea patients, these physicians found that rosacea-related papules and pustules responded much better to topical 10 percent sulfur than to oral antibiotics. More specifically, they found that with four weeks of topical sulfur treatment, the average number of papules and pustules dropped significantly (from 213 pimples before treatment to 17 pimples after treatment), that this clearing was much better than that attained by treatment with oral tetracycline. Sulfur is an important mineral component of vitamin B1 and of several essential amino acids. Sulfur is particularly necessary for the body's production of collagen, which helps to form connective tissue. Sulfur is also a component of keratin, the chief ingredient in hair, skin, and nails. By controlling bacteria and exfoliating the skin, sulfur is a popular acne treatment. Sulfur is thought to dissolve the top layer of dry, dead cells and slow down oil-gland activity. Sulfur is a required ingredient of your skeletal system and body fluids. Sulfur is not to be confused with the oral antibiotic sulfa pills used to treat body bacterial infections.

Polyethylene glycol. Polyethylene glycol used in a very small amount to improve the spread ability of a Rosacea-Ltd. This is what helps Rosacea-Ltd to glide easily over the skin.

The ingredients are compressed together much like a 'tablet', but we choose to call it a 'disk' as it is to be glided over the skin. Rosacea-Ltd III disks are 'glided over the wet skin after washing' where a small portion is dissolved onto the facial areas for direct best use of any product instead of being 'systemic' throughout the body. Simplicity in directly aiming at a target greatly insures accuracy in meeting your objective 'without side effects'.

These disks are processed in such a way that Rosacea Ltd III is virtually free of any irritant vehicle carriers. Typically, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle carriers such as ethanol, glycerol, sterile alcohol, and glycerylmonostearate are used to place active ingredients into solution or emulsion form for application. However, in many cases, these vehicle carriers are irritants to people with rosacea-sensitive skin. No vehicle carriers are used in Rosacea Ltd III, since it is more than 99 percent undiluted active ingredients in and of itself. Furthermore, Rosacea Ltd III disks are free of any potentially irritating preservatives such as methylparaben, propylparaben, and Quaternium-15. Lastly, Rosacea-Ltd III disks are free of any potentially irritating fragrances.

Rosacea-Ltd Studies The Role Of Diet In The Treatment of Rosacea

2008-10-15T09:50:00.002-06:00

Can what you eat or drink really have an effect on your rosacea? Many believe it can, others aren't as sure. But what has been found and proven to be true is that if the body is overly acidic or alkaline the skin as the body's largest organ will be the first to show evidence of a chemical imbalance.

The body blood has a healthy pH (potential of hydrogen) range of 7.35 to 7.42 so if we are not within that range, we beome ill if we are young, or age faster if we are above 35 years of age. However, the rosacea sufferer begins to have a red face with a little more blushing at times and then progresses onward to the many symptoms of rosacea. This is caused simply by the lowering of the blood pH (without the bonding of 'oxygen' to the hydrogen atom with H2O) as we all need the oxygen. Hydrogen is the lightest element. It is by far the most abundant element in the universe and makes up about about 90% of the universe by weight. Hydrogen as water (H2O) is absolutely essential to life and it is present in all organic compounds.

Everyone knows that the body needs oxygen in order to live and to stay healthy. Rosacea sufferers have less oxygen and likewise usually less hydrogen thus the redness, blushing and other rosacea symptoms. Alkaline water is the best and highest source and the cheapest and most abundant way to improve the body pH. However, foods are still very important for nutrients and proper calories to provide energy as water has no energy (0 calories) but is the very best balancing agent and is most abundant.

Without hydrogen to combine with oxygen we wouldn't have water. Oxygen burns hydrogen in the living system, releasing the energy that runs our bodies. Studies have shown that the human body stores hydrogen in its tissues. As we age, tissue hydrogen-depletion may lead to many of the symptoms of the aging process. This may cause sub-clinical dehydration since it appears that hydrogen may play a role in hydrating our cells.

The more we pull down the blood pH with lower pH foods and drinks, the body has to compensate by pulling or extracting the minerals and nutrients from the bones, thus we can continue for a while but we reach limited or diminishing returns as the bones become thinner, more brittle and can not give up more minerals and nutrients. Thus rosacea or 'metabolic acidiosis' causes a completely unbalanced body. And 'osmosis balancing' has to be made up from our foods and drinks by balancing our account or we go into the red rosacea symptoms. Thus, the rosacea diet consists of mostly alkaline foods

Rosacea-Ltd Addresses the Progression of Rosacea

The redness begins and gradually becomes more persistent with spidery blood vessels becomes progressively prominent on the nose and cheeks. Trauma from abrasives and peeling agents (Retin - A and all other retnoids, steroids and exfoliants including anti-aging products) easily cause more long-lasting redness. Inflammatory papules (without pus) and pustules (with pus) develop and continue to worsen. Facial pores often become larger and prominent. If there has been much sun exposure damage over the years, the skin becomes more leathery skin becomes more wrinkled as it is not elastic or as soft to bend. Eventually, the sides of the neck as well as the area down to the center of the chest began to redden and later the ears and area behind the ears also become more red. The facial skin contours gradually become coarse and thickened. A small number of rosacea patients realize they have a more serious presentation of the disease of rosacea with the condition of nose tissue hyperplasia beginning. Hypergenesis is a general term referring to the proliferation of cells within an organ or tissue beyond that which is ordinarily seen as is indicative of cancer cells expansion. "Rosacea is more than a red face" as rosacea sufferers often have allergy and sinus problems, fibromyalgia, digestive system disorders, and in later years osteoporosis and arthritis - rheumatism presents itself along with a lowering of the total immune system. As you read our new rosacea research facts page, you will find that rosacea is just one symptom of a "metabolic acidosis" disorder.

It is often the cumulative effect of the treatments you've been using to treat your rosacea that may actually be the aggravating source or factor of your current rosacea rosacea treatment. Improving the skin involves a complete change in your thought processes and your approach to treating and and controlling your rosacea. Rosacea-Ltd believes that total skin care and rosacea treatment involves much more than treating the damage that has already occurred. Effective rosacea treatment and skin care also involves preventive rosacea skin care. The use of sun screens is just one of these preventive skin care measures.

Many rosacea sufferers have been frustrated for many years with unsuccessful or marginal results from many rosacea skin care products. Antibiotics, retnoids, Accutane, and steroids have been a mainstay of rosacea treatment for years. Rosacea sufferers have noticed that these prescribed treatments and various rosacea laser treatments have not worked well as a rosacea skin care product; also these past treatments for rosacea may have caused additional damage to the already sensitive rosacea skin. Oral and topical antibiotic rosacea treatments for adult acne rosacea can work for up to several months before the bacteria become immune to the antibiotic, causing the antibiotic to lose its effectiveness. Oral antibiotic treatment actually cause more rosacea red symptoms. For information on the latest FDA findings, see Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics.

The Cause of Rosacea

2008-08-14T07:21:00.002-06:00

The exact cause of rosacea is a much disputed topic - some say demodex mites, immune system disorder, vascular disorder, genetic factor and the list seems to continue. Each of these suspected casues of rosacea appear to have one common link. Each creates a situation within the body and the skin that leads to a pH imbalance in the skin. Rather than dispute the cause of rosacea as the cause can be as varied as the people who have rosacea, if we address the imbalance and how to correct it, we may have the cure. Many sources have dabbled into this theory but the most complete and thorough information found on the topic of pH imbalance of the skin and the alakline/acidic connection can be found on the Rosacea-Ltd New Research page.

Understanding Rosacea And Its Treatment

2008-06-23T12:38:00.001-06:00

The research team of Bass & Boney, Inc. is constantly researching for new insight into rosacea and the components of ocular rosacea and other skin problems such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, impetigo, dermatosis, neurodermatitis, pruritus, and erythema. Most dermatologist have stated for years that they are baffled by rosacea and do not understand the cause or etiology of rosacea. And if dermatologist can not understand the cause, then how can they effectively treat rosacea? Therefore most rosacea patients have migrated from one dermatologist to another and spent much time and money in the hopes of solving their rosacea and related acne and or seborrheic dermatitis skin condition. Our team of Rosacea Researchers with 40 years of collective research, led by a Johns Hopkins MD, have confirmed that the cause or etiology of rosacea is an immune system disorder which you may desire to learn more about on the "Rosacea Cause or Etiology page". Rosacea does not have to be a long term disease that is thought by many to become progressively worse.

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?

The Rosacea-Ltd reference page contains references for further reading about rosacea, including medications used in the treatment of rosacea, acne, dermatitis, and skin conditions that co-exist with rosacea. Another excellent source of information about rosacea can be found on the International Rosacea Foundation web site.

Can I use Rosacea-Ltd if I have other skin conditions in addition to rosacea?

Yes! Many rosacea sufferers have also been diagnosed with dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or acne. Rosacea-Ltd will help you beautify your skin regardless of these diseases. The natural lifestyle changes discussed on this web site will improve the other conditions, too.

I found the Rosacea-Ltd III website to be very informative, the best information resource on rosacea that I have found, and the only one that actually makes sense in regards to the causes of rosacea and its triggers. When I read the causes of flushing, I felt as though you knew me personally and had witnessed the many faces of my rosacea flushing.
