Teenagers routinely deal with skin inflammation resulting from acne, but most leave that condition behind. Some who experience particularly severe cases later develop additional skin issues resembling acne that share common features, but require an entirely different approach. Rosacia treatment in Cincinnati, OH is designed to help those who suffer from the distress associated with this highly visible irritation.
Victims are most often light-skinned with blond hair, and generally have Scandinavian or northern European genetic roots. Most are between thirty and fifty years old. Because the tendency is inherited, families with one member who has been diagnosed realize that others may also be considered at risk. Many people with rosacea report having severe acne that included skin cysts and nodules.
The immune system may be an important link to this affliction, and specific microorganisms are known to trigger outbreaks. Although unpleasant to consider, nearly invisible skin mites live around the nose, eyes and neck of nearly everyone, and can cause trouble when populations explode. Abnormal processing of proteins during metabolism is also thought to play a part.
It is important to get an accurate diagnosis before attempting treatment, primarily because of the increasing antibiotic resistance that many microorganisms have developed during the past seventy five years. Both acne and rosacea cause bumps and pimples to develop, but acne is usually an issue in areas of skin that have hair follicles, oil glands, and bacteria, and responds well to antibiotics.
Unlike acne, rosacea does not always respond well to that approach. Most physicians prefer to address the redness by using anti-inflammatory medications that work in a different way, and do not stimulate drug resistance. The severity of an episode determines the which treatment will work the best, and doctors may recommend antibacterial washes, topical creams, specific drugs, or light therapy.
Even though the consequences of constant facial redness are distressing, the worst symptoms can usually be controlled and reduced. Some victims are given topical medicines that require application twice daily in conjunction with a facial wash. This type of medicine is specifically designed to reduce the most visible bumps and blotches. Other patients are given specific combinations of drugs.
In some cases short-term use of topical steroids may be recommended, but not for extended periods due to the possibility of additional irritation around the mouth. If mites are prevalent, medications that specifically target them are helpful. In the most persistent and severe cases, special drugs used to combat the harshest forms of acne can be used. In milder attacks, patients are advised to avoid common soaps and lotions.
Those who prefer to be treated without using chemical-based products may respond well to laser therapy or intense pulsed light treatments. Both are effective and safe to use when dealing with inflammation on the face, neck and chest, and the improvements often become visible in a short time. Although not entirely pain-free, this treatment may be used in combination with drugs that are photodynamically active, increasing the strength of both.
