How to treat rosacea on the face - methods of struggle and prevention of unwanted blush

Over the years, red or blue veins on the face often begin to appear in an adult, and as a result, the question arises - what constricts the blood vessels? Can dilated vessels be cured once and for all? Is phototherapy effective in this regard? Is the removal of blood vessels harmful?

Against the background of a healthy body, rosacea stands out as a separate section of the visible network of blood vessels, depending on the stage - from reddish to maroon or purple, most often on the nose or cheeks.

Science claims that rosacea is not an independent disease. True, this depends, again, on the stage of pathology. Individual dilated capillaries do not significantly affect blood circulation and do not have a negative effect on health. Unless, they can negatively affect the psychological comfort of a person.

Causes of the appearance of dilated vessels

The causes and methods of treating rosacea on the face are different, they are congenital and acquired, depending on them, methods of dealing with this defect are selected. Most often, rosacea appears due to the weakening of blood vessels against the background of genetic, hormonal disorders or a number of external factors.

Congenital

Congenital rosacea is the most severe and rare form of the defect, it is almost incurable, except that it lends itself to slight cosmetic adjustment. The following serious diseases can provoke it:

• Louis Bar syndrome;
• genetic vascular pathology, manifested in their constant bleeding (Randu-Osler disease);
• tumors resulting from an increase in capillaries.

Medical

• Heredity, it’s a genetic predisposition. If the next of kin has “spider veins” on the face or body, then it is likely that you cannot avoid their appearance.
• Hormonal disorders. If the vessels on the face appeared simultaneously with a significant change in weight (you have recovered or lost weight for no apparent reason), and you also suffer from sleep disorders or mood swings, this is an occasion to contact an endocrinologist and gynecologist. Provoking factors can be - taking contraceptives, pregnancy, menopause.
• Hypertension. If you have high blood pressure (140/90 mm Hg. Art.), Or it "jumps" during the day, and the tonometer shows different data on both hands (the difference is more than 10 divisions) - you need to visit a therapist and cardiologist. Even if you feel normal. Normalization of pressure will reduce the manifestation of the rosacea network, as well as reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
• Sinus inflammation. If the net on the face appeared after a cold, a cold, your nose is very stuffy, or you snore - the otolaryngologist will help you.
• Diseases of the internal organs, especially the liver. The appearance of the vascular network and diseases of the digestive system are quite closely interconnected.In this case, rosacea acts as an external symptom of an internal disease.
• Genetic vascular weakness. When the walls of the vessels are prone to low elasticity, the likelihood of rosacea increases several times.
• A number of skin conditions (e.g., dermatomyositis or lupus). Autoimmune ailments provoke the development of inflammatory processes on the inner membrane of small vessels.

Acquired

And yet, the most common causes of an ugly capillary pattern are external factors. To defeat rosacea on the face, first protect yourself from these factors.

• Bad habits. Smoking and drinking, especially red wine. Alcohol dilates blood vessels, which sooner or later leads to external manifestations of the corresponding defect.
• Significant temperature fluctuations. Long stay in extreme cold or in direct sunlight. Under such conditions, blood vessels can even appear on male skin.
• Abuse of tanning, including tanning beds. Aggressive exposure to sunlight always negatively affects the condition of the skin, and can also provoke rosacea.
• Malnutrition. Abuse of fatty, spicy, salty foods, gas drinks, sweets, lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet.
• Stress. Frequent experiences and worries, depression. Increased pressure entails a violation of the normal functioning of the vessels.
• Incorrect care. Alcohol lotions, scrubs, hard washcloths and towels made from coarse cloth. They provoke thinning of the epidermis and its dehydration. Redness can be a sad consequence of such aggressive care.

Unwanted Flush Measures

Proper care

Caring for rosacea should be proper and gentle.

• Do not wash your face with hot water.. To the question whether it is possible to wipe the face with ice in case of rosacea, the answer will also be negative - remember that any aggressive temperatures are contraindicated to you! Under the ban of inhalation, contrasting cleansing and compresses - in short, everything that is associated with heating, steaming the skin, and temperature drops.
