Розацеа — це хронічне запальне захворювання шкіри, яке переважно вражає центральну частину обличчя. Характеризується почервонінням та/або появою висипань на обличчі. Зазвичай з’являється після 30 років, однак перші прояви можуть виникнути в будь-якому віці.
The main factors that irritate the vessels and provoke exacerbation of Rosacea are heavy physical exertion, exposure to cold or heat, frequent visits to the sauna and taking hot baths, consumption of alcohol, hot or spicy food. In certain forms of rosacea, the eyes are affected - ophthalmo-rosacea (deterioration of vision, feeling of sand in the eyes), chin, neck. If treatment is not started in time, the disease progresses to the next stage — "rhinophyma" of the nose (the nose increases in size, pores and vascular stars become visible), which becomes similar to a golf ball.
First of all, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the provoking factors. For the treatment of rosacea, both local (ointments, creams, lotions) and systemic therapy are used. For local treatment, drugs with metronidazole, azaleic acid, antibiotics, and sulfur are used. In severe cases, systemic drugs with anti-inflammatory doses of antibiotics, metronidazole and retinoids are used. In some cases, laser treatment or pulsed phototherapy may be used. Cryomassage with liquid nitrogen is applied to areas of redness to speed up recovery. Facial skin is the business card of every person. Only the correct treatment with correct skin care will allow you to get rid of annoying facial problems that spoil the quality of your life.
