Diagnosing Acne And Acne Rosacea Correctly |
|
Tip! Not dealing with emotions or high stress levels can cause acne flare-ups or other outward indications of inward problems.
Acne by any other name is not necessarily acne as is the case with acne rosacea. It is important to correctly diagnose acne rosacea for what it is and not mistake it for acne. Although it may look like acne, it has major differences with actual acne breakouts and keeping these in mind will aid you with many misconceptions you might have that may cause this chronic skin disease to be a threat to the quality of your life.
a) Age limit-
Acne is more common among adolescents and teenagers. While it is not unlikely to get acne in adulthood, you might think that you can have acne rosacea if you are 30 to 50 years old and start to suffer symptoms that resemble acne. Acne rosacea usually happens to individuals of this age, especially among Caucasians because of their photo sensitive skin that have been recklessly exposed to sun damage.
b) Tickled pink-
Blushing is cute and if you can do this on cue, it may led to score some points in coyness that just might get the man or woman of your dreams swooning over you. However, excessive flushing may make worse acne rosacea in individuals with sun damaged skin. Redness, swelling and even pimple like protrusions occur in the forehead, nose and chin-all areas of the face that are caused by flushing and blushing.
Tip! Acne is highly influenced by these three factors; your hormone imbalance, high toxic build up and your genetic tendencies.
c) Gender bias-
Although acne rosacea happens more in Caucasian women between the ages of 30 to 50, it also may occur in men and when it occurs, it is usually more severe. Untreated, acne rosacea will affect the way you enjoy life, especially in men who may develop enlargement of the nose more readily than in women.
d) The red eye-
Unfortunately, in more serious cases especially in those untreated situations, acne rosacea may infect the eye and cause it to become red, feel tender and sore and may even cause scaling around the eye area. This isn't the worse though. If misdiagnosed and untreated, acne rosacea that infect the eyes will lead to blindness.
Tip! If properly hydrated, the skin will not wrinkle or sag as easily, and will appear youthful for a longer period of time.
e) Take action-
Acne rosacea is not just a cosmetic problem, take matters in your own hand and equip yourself with necessary information to understand and learn more about this disease and how to combat it. At the very least, acne rosacea will affect your self esteem and influence the quality of your life. That's only looking on the bright side. This disease has the power to debilitate you. Fortunately, answers and solutions are out there.
f) Herb it-
There are several herbal options based on age old Chinese remedies for acne and acne rosacea. Do not get confused about which medicines to take though. While the herbal solutions for acne can be used on acne, using acne medicines on acne rosacea is useless and dangerous. You better talk with a medical professional before considering alternative sources of treating acne rosacea.
