   What can be done about Rosacia (Beauty & Cosmetics board)

16th January 2004
Hi Connie,

My dad suffers with rosecea, too. And I have an aunt who is an Aesthetician who has provided him some samples of: tree oil, calming lotion, etc.

But he greatly benefitted when he went to the dermatologist. They gave him some cream called metronidazole. Now his face isn't so red and irritated.

Here is a list of some things to avoid: astringents, peeling agents, harsh soaps, oily cleansers, and cleansers containing alcohol.

Also, here are some possible triggers that might aggravate rosecea: sun, extreme heat or cold, hard exercise, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and hot beverages.

I know how much this has affected my dad, so I hope you can benefit from some type of treatment. I wish you the best.
