Acne and Rosacea

Documentos

Acne is a skin condition in which skin’s oil glands clog the pores. This results in lumps that can be black, white, or flesh colored. These can become painful and inflamed and sometimes even risk infection. Roughly 20 percent of acne cases occur in adults. Rosacea is a skin disorder, primarily affecting the facial area, resulting in redness that flares up and retreats at times. Over time, the redness deepens and remains persistent; bumps and pimples may appear. The nose may swell and redden as well. Rosacea sufferers often break out with acne as well because of their condition.

No cure exists for either acne or rosacea. Medical science offers many treatments that can lessen the impact of both conditions and reverse its signs and symptoms dramatically. While acne is a common ailment among teenagers, anyone with a severe case of acne should consult a dermatologist to avoid scarring or potential infections of the skin. Rosacea can be treated effectively and, if caught early, can minimize the effects of the disease. While many over the counter treatment options exist for both these diseases, it is usually a good idea to get a dermatologist’s opinion to maximize results even from over the counter treatments. Salicylic acid is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, those medications most needed in a basic health system.
