What is the treatment for rosacea?

The health of the nose is an issue that people are more concerned about, because the nose is located in a special position, in the center of the face, and plays an important role in shaping people's appearance. A strong nose bridge makes people look particularly energetic, and people with masculine and stylish nose tips are more popular with women. But not everyone's nose is perfect. It is a common phenomenon that many people have low nose bridges and ugly nose tips. Among them, rosacea is an extremely ugly nose shape, which cannot decorate people's image, but will lower the overall appearance. Let’s take a look at how to treat rosacea.

Rosacea, also known as rosacea, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by erythema and telangiectasia that occurs primarily in the central part of the face. It is more common in middle-aged people aged 30 to 50, especially in women.

Since the cause is unknown, treatment is mostly symptomatic. Try to prevent factors that aggravate the disease, adjust the endocrine system, correct gastrointestinal dysfunction, ban smoking, coffee, spicy and irritating foods, avoid overeating, keep bowel movements regular, avoid using alkaline soaps, alcohol, detergents, dyes, astringents, etc. that irritate the skin, and avoid exposure to the sun and excessive cold or heat. Live a regular life and avoid mental stress.

The treatment methods for rosacea can refer to the following measures.
