Who can Benefit from Rosacea Treatment?
Rosacea can occur in almost anyone but is more common in women, those with fair skin, and those with a family history of the condition. Rosacea is not usually harmful but can lead to self-consciousness and embarrassment during flare-ups. In many cases, rosacea can also lead to bothersome eye problems like redness, dryness, and irritation. Patients who cannot manage their symptoms on their own can request a consultation in Novi to see which rosacea treatments they can benefit from.
At-Home Rosacea Treatment
Treating rosacea at home in Novi often involves avoiding its triggers. Things that can provoke a rosacea flare-up or worsen rosacea symptoms include:
- Alcohol consumption
- Hot or spicy foods
- Extreme temperatures
- Sun exposure
- Cosmetics
- Exercise
- Emotions (embarrassment, stress, anger)
- Drugs that cause the blood vessels to dilate
By avoiding known triggers, you can decrease your chance of a flare up. It might help to keep a log of when your flare ups are occurring to determine what the cause is. Those who suffer from rosacea can talk with their dermatologist in Novi about other at home measures they should be taking. This might include using special sunscreens and other gentle skin care products.
