Rosacea (Rose Disease) Treatment

The treatment of rosacea is based on a holistic approach. Rosacea (rose disease) treatment starts after the diagnosis made by the doctor. Rosacea, known as a skin disorder, is also known as rosacea. The treatment methods for the disease are as follows:

The first step in the treatment of rosacea is to detect the presence of demodex parasites in the skin. In addition to rosacea, any other skin conditions are examined. The patient is kept away from all factors that trigger rosacea.
As a result of rosacea being a chronic disease, it is common for rashes and pimples to appear or to progress as symptomless periods. The primary goal in the treatment of these conditions is to calm periods of exacerbation of the disease.
Both medical approaches and laser treatments are supported during treatment. The health status of all organs that may accompany the disease is questioned. Patients with psychological complaints are asked to reduce these burdens and remove stress from their lives.
Rose disease is a condition that can recur later. Therefore, education of patients is of great importance. Exacerbations may occur at certain times during the course of the disease. Knowing that the patient will return to full health after a while is important for surviving the process.

What is important in topical treatment are the skin lesions. The treatment approach is based on the structures that appear on the skin.

For papules or pustules on the skin, creams such as azelaic acid, metranidazole, tetracycline, tretinoin and sodium sulfacetamide are used. Antibiotic compounds such as metranidazole and doxycycline are also recommended for people to take orally.
Vitamin A helps to overcome the disease. The vitamin is particularly effective for isotretinoin therapy. Vitamin A stops the growth of the nose with its structure that prevents the proliferation of fat cells. In addition to all these, vitamin A is also used in the removal of inflammation for papule formation.
Demodex parasites are also agents that can cause disease. For this reason, products such as permethrin and tea tree oil are used to treat the disease.
Ivermectin is one of the most commonly used rosacea treatment methods today. This substance is very effective thanks to its inflammation suppression and antiparasitic effect. The effect of the substance on rosacea applies to its use throughout the disease. Symptoms of rosacea may recur 4 months after the product has been discontinued. While there is burning and dryness at the beginning of treatment, this may decrease after treatment. In addition, dryness and irritation can be minimized with moisturizers.
Tea tree oil is an ingredient that has recently been used frequently on different ailments. Some lotions and creams prepared with the aqueous form of this oil are effective on demodex mites. Therefore, tea tree oil is very important in the treatment of rosacea. This oil is also available in shampoo forms and is effective in eyelash base cleaning.
