Rosacea can be caused by high levels of cathelicidin peptide or an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Antibiotics may be effective in treating the root cause. Environmental and emotional factors can also contribute, and anti-inflammatory medication can help manage symptoms and prevent permanent tissue damage. Different subtypes of rosacea can cause various symptoms.
The reasons behind rosacea can vary from person to person, although there are a few main causes and some common contributing factors. One possible cause of rosacea is high levels of the cathelicidin peptide, which has been noted in many people with the condition. Other people with rosacea flushing suffer from an overgrowth of certain bacteria in the small intestine. Additionally, rosacea redness can be caused or made worse by a number of factors such as heat, excessive sun exposure, or emotional stress. Rosacea is a skin condition that causes various areas of the face to become inflamed, leading to a characteristic redness that is sometimes accompanied by visible blood vessels or excessive flushing.
The root causes of rosacea redness can sometimes be treated. In cases where the cause is an abundance of stratum corneum tryptic enzyme (SCTE) and cathelicidin peptides, antibiotics may be effective in treating rosacea. This may be because SCTEs can sometimes be effectively inhibited by some antibiotics. In other cases where an overgrowth of fauna in the small intestine is the cause of rosacea, particular antibiotics may also be effective. This is due to the ability of targeted antibiotics to reduce the population of unwanted small intestinal bacteria.
Rosacea is sometimes caused by environmental or emotional factors. In these cases, the redness from rosacea can be managed with topical anti-inflammatory medications. While this won’t treat the cause of the inflammation, it can help reduce the redness of rosacea. Avoiding certain factors that can make the condition worse can also help. Staying out of the sun, especially in very hot weather, and reducing stress can reduce or shorten rashes.
Applying anti-inflammatory medicine can also help prevent other lasting damage from rosacea. When the condition goes untreated for long periods of time, it can lead to permanent tissue damage. A swollen nose caused by rosacea is usually known as rhinophyma and can interfere with vision or breathing. Untreated rosacea can also cause permanent swelling in other areas of the face and can be very serious if it involves the eyes.
In addition to the redness of rosacea, other forms of the condition can cause different symptoms. Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea can be characterized by permanent redness of certain areas of the face and an increased tendency to blush. Another subtype is papulopustular rosacea, which causes skin pustules or papules that may look like an acne outbreak.
