How can I reduce redness on my face?

How can I reduce the redness (due to rosacea) on my face? What can I put on my face to make it stop burning?

  • I have been diagnosed with rosacea. I've tried taking metrocream and I'm too allergic. I am now taking doxycycline but it is too early to tell if it is going to work. Anyways, my face is red as it can be and it burns and it is painful. Please, does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Answer:

    If you face burns call your dermatologist to get his opinion on the burning as rosacea doesn't normally cause the burning sensation that I am aware of. Use a mild soap or face wash and you can try several facial products although I didn't care for too many of them. The Eucerin redness line is good for rosacea and prosacea is one I haven't tried yet. You can also try some laser treatments at a dermatologist clinic or spa that offers these for rosacea treatment. I am actually thinking about trying that if I get time to get the money together after taxes come back. The clinic nearest me charges $400 I think which is not a bad price but just not an amount of money I have just lying around unused.

I have to treat the same problem! Get several plants of Aloe Vera going and each day break off a leaf stem. Just squeeze the juice of FRESH Aloe and rub it on your face 3 times per day. In a few weeks if should be remarkable better. If the rosacea persist or you get sinus problems along with it--go see a Rheumatologist to test for beginning collagen(connective tissue disease). This is tricky, get a good Rheumatologist that treats a lot of these folks. There are over 120 different kinds of specific diseases and different severity and you want the best Doctor of this rare specialty. Hopefully the FRESH Aloe juice treatment for the red skin breakouts is all you need.

I don't know about rosacea, but I do know about extreme allergies and skin sensitivity. What helped me most was switching to Bare Essencuals make up. It actually improved my skin. It is mineral based and dry so it is very gentle to skin. It really improved my skin and my breakouts and itching stopped completely. Hope this helps.
