There are treatments though that will help people lessen the breakouts but these treatments should be done continuously. People who have stopped treatment had remissions. The struggle against rosacea may be lifelong but with treatments to control the symptoms widely available, coping with it is not so bad. Although there is no confirmed cause, Rosacea has some common triggers. When these triggers are ingested or come into contact with afflicted people, they experience rosacea symptoms. The number one among these common triggers is sun exposure. The sun seems to exacerbate rosacea problem. So does stress. Topical steroids are also used but care should be given because prolonged use can have side effects like skin irritation like perioral dermatitis which is seen on the areas surrounding the mouth. There are also prescription cleansers that rosacea patients are prescribed with. Isotretinoin is one example, which is used daily for about four to six months. It is important though that once you see the connection, you get help immediately or start to manage the flare ups because the condition has been known to worsen with age especially when it is left untreated for a long time. Rosacea is more common in women than in men and unlike acne, it often affects people who are older. People who have rosacea think that they easily blush or get flushed. They don't know that when they are exposed to the sun or when the weather is extremely hot, the redness that they see on their faces is not actually sunburn or flushing but Rosacea. Rosacea is a skin problem characterized by patches of redness on some areas of the face particularly on the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Besides the redness on the skin of the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, people affected with rosacea may also suffer from watery eyes. Blood vessels may also be seen through the skin. In some cases, pustules and pimples develop. Unlike acne, these pimples when pressed do not spat out pus or whiteheads; they secrete clear liquids.
