Does untreated rosacea always get worse?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've had rosacea for some years. I flush easily and, although my face isn't very red, I do get red bumps on my cheeks. Up to now these bumps/pustules have been and gone. Now I've had them for a few months and they seem to be increasing in number. I've got other problems - IBS and acid reflux - for which I'm seeing my doctor and I'm embarrassed about mentioning yet another ailment. If I leave it will it go away, or does rosacea get worse if not treated? At the moment I'm just making sure my face is very clean and use moisturiser. I'll be seeing my doctor next week.

Rosacea generally won't go by itself and can get worse at different times of the month. There are a few treatments you can have which will keep it away but there is no cure. I would recommend IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Dermaquest Skin therapy- Lactic Skin Resurfacer. The products I would recommend are Dermaquest skin therapy.
There are also other things you can do, try and cut out spicy food, wear sun proctection and keep out of the sun. Aloe vera drinks have been said to improve this too.
Hope this helps

-Try to get enough sleep! I am sure my condition would have been better if I did, because I really see it worsen by sleepless nights.

Lanzoprazole every day, my symptoms only started when i got bad stomache. I also used makeup wipes,BIG mistake! Dont ever use this things. I cut out my tablets, went to clinique counter got some cleanser and moisturuser, my skin has been fab, no red postule thingys, honestly cant believe tge difference! Trouble is im taking Gaviscon Advanced, but its worth it .
