Ance
Acne rosacea is an inflammatory condition of the facial oil glands and the skin in between them. It is more common in middle-aged women than in men.
These lesions were the cardinal signs of this condition, the telangiectasias or dilated blood vessels that are common in the disease.
For many years no one knew what influences initiated an attack of rosacea. It was known that a genetic tendency was present but treatment was lacking. Sulfur lotions were the mainstay for this and for acne in teenagers. Thus rosacea became known for many years as “acne rosacea,” although acne is different—in acne there is no inflammation between the follicles, and many acne patients do not exhibit the tendency toward easy flushing and blushing that rosacea patients have.
In recent years, a type of mite called Demodex has been implicated in causing rosacea, and a new preparation is available to kill off these facial parasites. Using this amazing gel, called Metrogel, along with the anti-acne antibiotic tetracycline, can allow the face to heal rapidly.
It is especially important to treat rosacea early to prevent chronic inflammation of the facial oil glands and enlargement of them, which causes a gradual enlargement of the tip of the nose.
Telangiectasias that remain after the disease is gotten under control may be treated with electrodesiccatjon (buzzing with an electric needle).

Foods have long been the subject of speculation as causes of rosacea. The most important food aggravaflts are hot liquids, which dilate the blood vessels of the neck and face, causing more flushing. Also, caffeine, sun, wind, heat, and cold all are bad for rosacea.
Alcohol worsens the disease, thus the saying that this is a drinker’s problem first and foremost.
