Clearing Rosacea

I was diagnosed last year and was given antibiotics to clear my rosacea. I took these for about a month and yes they worked but after sometime they gave me thrush and tummy ache. So i stopped taking them. My life became a constant misery trying to control this condition and i became quite desperate in finding a 'cure'. Having read up on the net off several sites i took advice from some people who have tackled this condition with alternative medicines. Everyday i take 2 Apple Cider Vinegar tablets and 1 B Complex. I take the ACV tablets as i found it difficult to stomach the diluted liquid form without wanting to vomit.

In a morning i wash my face with natural sulphur soap and then rinse but i leave my face wet. I then apply a small amount of neat anti dandruff shampoo to the affected skin. This i leave on for a couple of minutes and then rinse off. The shampoo i use begins with an 'O' and has a chemical in called ciclopirox olamine. This is said to kill off the mites that can cause this condition. I then swab the affected area while damp with a diluted tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Allow this to dry on your face and then moisturise using a frangrance and chemical free cream to the skin. Following this procedure cleared my condition. This took about 5 days but the difference in my skin was unbelievable. My face had gone from looking like i had a face full of measles, red raw and itchy with extremely dry skin in places to faint pink, no spots or bumps and soft skin. I cannot fault what the above has done for me and if it keeps it under control and leaves my skin feeling as soft as this then i dont see why medicines are required at all. If anyone else tries the above and has sucess then please let me know as it works for me.

I also read that Lysine can help rosacea sufferers. I tried this in tablet form but it caused my face to swell, so that wasnt something i could continue with.

    Hello, I have just been diagnosed with rosacea and have been put on anti biotics as well as having cream prescribed for me. However, I am intrigued by the treatment suggested by Mgs and wonder how you came about it - why anti dandruff shampoo? Was that suggested to you or were you experimenting somehow? It sounds a bizarre treatment and I am a bit afraid of aggravating my rosacea but it sounds like a miracle cure! Has your rosacea remained clear?

    many thanks!

    Being more natural helped me. I used this which helped a lot xxx

    Also started to avoid things that triggered my rosacea. Think there is probaly a lot of good natural treatments you can make at home as well. Like using ACV but too scared to change my regime at the moment.

    Hi there,

    I realise this post is almost four years old but it's given me so much hope. Could you let me know how you've been getting on? Has this method continued to work for you?

    Thanks,

    Alex
