Rosacea redness can subside, and the appearance of rosacea is a common type of skin disease in clinical practice. Rosacea can indeed be cured, but it is essential to use medications in a standardized manner and ensure the treatment duration.

When presenting with rosacea, one can choose topical medications under the guidance of a doctor, such as metronidazole or clindamycin phosphate gel. It is also necessary to complement with oral medications, options include doxycycline hydrochloride capsules, minocycline hydrochloride capsules, or isotretinoin soft capsules.

In cases of rosacea, it is also important to pay attention to diet, opting for a light diet. Avoid eating spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods.

How to treat acne scar nodules

After complete recovery from acne, most people will form scars or some hypertrophic scar keloids. Generally, during the recovery phase of this condition, scratching or squeezing by hand is somewhat related. Currently, there are no highly effective drugs to completely heal these scars. The most common method is still to visit the dermatology department of a formal hospital and use fractional laser treatment, but the results vary from person to person and require many treatments. If the results are poor and the scar keloids are significantly hypertrophic, drug occlusion can also be used. However, drug occlusion cannot completely eliminate them; it can only make them shrink or become less noticeable. There is still a possibility that they might continue to grow.

How to remove acne marks?

Most acne patients, after undergoing standard treatment, tend to retain some acne marks on their faces. These marks generally do not require special treatment and will gradually fade or disappear over time. Alternatively, patients can opt for red and blue light therapy at hospitals, which can accelerate the fading of pigmentation. They can also visit a standard hospital to have cosmetic laser treatments to remove the marks, but these effects are not particularly fast and require long-term persistence. During the treatment period, it is essential to follow a standard diet and lifestyle practices. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and to prevent staying up late, feeling anxious or tense, or excessive sun exposure, as these factors may worsen the acne marks and increase the difficulty of treatment.

How to reduce redness from rosacea

Rosacea mostly occurs in middle-aged people, more often in women, and can be accompanied by acne or seborrheic dermatitis. The most commonly seen type in clinical settings is erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, primarily appearing in the central parts of the face, especially on the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin, with symmetrically occurring erythema. Different stimuli, such as environmental changes, temperature fluctuations, consuming hot beverages, alcohol, spicy foods, exercise, and bathing, can all cause persistent blushing and erythema, often accompanied by dry skin, a burning sensation, or a stinging feeling. To reduce erythema, it is first important to protect against the sun to avoid damage to the facial skin barrier by ultraviolet rays. It is also necessary to avoid excessive cleansing, enhance moisturizing and skin-nourishing treatments, and avoid extreme heat or cold, as well as the adverse stimulation of mental stress. Alcohol consumption and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided. Local cold compresses may be appropriate, and for severe and recurrent cases, internal administration of Chinese herbal medicine is recommended to clear heat, cool the blood, and reduce redness.

How is acne treated most thoroughly?

Acne is largely related to the vigorous secretion of one's own sebaceous glands, consumption of spicy and stimulating food, or frequent staying up late; this condition tends to recur frequently. It is essential to avoid spicy and irritating foods and not to stay up late. The most common treatment currently is still the combination of oral medications and topical applications, such as oral doxycycline enteric capsules, traditional Chinese medicine Jinhua Xiaocuwan pills, topical fusidic acid ointment, and tretinoin erythromycin gel. If possible, one can also consider hospital treatments like red and blue light therapy or glycolic acid skin peeling. The most important thing for this condition is to regulate one's diet and lifestyle habits to effectively prevent recurrence and achieve good preventative results.

Is acne the same as pimples?

Acne is a medical term, commonly known as pimples or acne. These two are the same disease, caused by the infection of Propionibacterium acnes, and are related to one's own active sebaceous glands, eating spicy and stimulating food, or frequently staying up late. Once diagnosed with this condition, it is important to receive systematic and formal treatment to prevent recurrence. Treatment can include oral and topical medications from a dermatology department in a formal hospital, and combining this with red and blue light therapy may yield better results. Avoid scratching or popping the acne, as this can lead to scarring or pits. After recovery, it is crucial to maintain a proper diet and lifestyle over the long term, avoiding staying up late and consuming spicy and stimulating foods to prevent the condition from recurring.
