Although it may be common, rosacea can have a powerfully negative effect on those who experience it firsthand. The redness and bumps filled with pus, blood vessels, and thickening skin can leave anyone feeling self-conscious and seeking rosacea treatment in Boulder to alleviate the most noticeable symptoms.
The Cause of Rosacea is Unknown
While there’s no definitive cause for rosacea, there are several possibilities that the medical community believes are most likely. Some people may be genetically predisposed to developing rosacea. Or, symptoms of rosacea can be your body’s reaction to microscopic skin mites called Demodex and the even smaller bacteria they carry. Other research suggests that rosacea can be an outward manifestation of the intestinal Helicobacter pylori.
Types of Rosacea
It’s easy to assume that all rosacea cases are the same; however, there are four sub-types. Each presents slightly different symptoms, and it’s possible to have more than one of these sub-types at one time.
- Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea causes the symptoms most people associate with this skin condition, including flushing, redness and inflammation, and visible blood vessels under the skin.
- Papulopustular rosacea, often called acne rosacea, causes small bumps filled with pus to appear on the face. This sub-type commonly affects middle-aged women.
- Rhinophyma has noticeably thickened skin on the nose. Males are common in this sub-type.
- Sometimes, rosacea also affects the eyes and referred to as ocular rosacea. It causes dry eyes, light sensitivity, and a bloodshot appearance.
Treatments for Rosacea
Doctors often prescribe antibiotics and topical creams to help resolve the signs of rosacea but this care, especially the topical treatments, doesn’t always provide the relief that people with rosacea seek. The reduction in redness, pus-filled bumps, and inflammation can be minimal, and some users of these topical treatments experience skin irritation instead of calm.
