"How Effective is the Rosacea Repair Gel?"

Rosacea

Rosacea, commonly seen in middle-aged and elderly individuals, is a chronic skin condition that affects the nose and the skin around it. It is characterized by skin congestion, swelling, thickening and enlargement of the skin surface, dilation of capillaries, excessive sebum secretion, and papular changes. In the later stages, noticeable growths may appear. Clinically, it is generally divided into three stages: the congestion and swelling stage, the papular hyperplasia stage, and the growth stage. The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but there are significant contributing factors, such as long-term smoking and alcohol consumption, a preference for spicy and greasy food, and overactive sebaceous glands. To prevent rosacea, individuals should abstain from smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and maintain a balanced diet. Regularly cleansing the face with soap or sulfuric acid-based creams, and applying topical corticosteroids, can also be helpful. Maintaining regular bowel movements and preventing recurrent constipation is also essential. In cases where noticeable growths develop, surgical intervention to remove the growths may be considered. Rosacea, also known as rosacea acne, primarily involves dilation of capillaries in the central face, nose, or surrounding areas, and may be accompanied by infections from Demodex folliculorum, resulting in erythema or nasal deformities due to hyperplasia. It can also manifest as papules or pustules on the nose, with large pustules or purulent discharge. It is primarily classified into three stages: the erythema stage characterized by capillary dilation or erythema, the rosacea stage that may lead to nasal deformities requiring surgical treatment, and the final stage where the cause of rosacea should be identified. Potential causes include alcohol consumption, spicy and irritating foods, gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation, endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, and Demodex infestation. Treatment involves addressing the underlying causes, controlling bleeding, reducing inflammation, regulating sebaceous gland secretion, and eradicating Demodex. Patients with Demodex infestation may be prescribed ornidazole. In cases of nasal growths, excision under local anesthesia may be performed, with skin grafting required for larger areas. Alternatively, carbon dioxide lasers can be used to vaporize the growths.
