Rosacea is a chronic skin condition in which acne-like pustules form in people over the age of 30. It is caused by an increase in sebum production. Under-lying causes can be toxin accumulation, improper nutrition, insufficient stomach acid, food sensitivities, liver or gall-badder dysfunction, hypertension or genetics.
Rosacea outbreaks are worsened by stress, worry, sunlight, exposure to heat or cold, and the consumption of coffee and alcohol.
The first stage involves a reddening of the skin on the cheeks and nose, and later, the forehead and chin. Acne forms and pustules are visible. Tiny blood vessels can be seen below the skin’s surface. In men, rhinophyma can occur. In this severe form of rosacea the nose becomes red and swells.
The conventional treatment of Rosacea usually involves antibiotics to treat the acne that develops as a consequence of the changes it causes to blood vessels under the skin. If you are taking an antibiotic prescribed by your practitioner for rosacea, it is important that you take an acidophilus supplement to help prevent the depletion of friendly bacteria in the intestines. The prescription duration is usually long term, so taking a supplement to enhance the health of the intestinal lining is important, too, as most antibiotics will cause damage to it over the long term. The amino acid glutamine and DGL can optimize the health of the G.I. lining
