the composition of sebum (a fat that helps maintain skin moisture). Studies indicate that semen-fed Demodex mites, in the
event of changes in sebum synthesis, increase in number, resulting in an inflammatory condition leading to the emergence of
rosacea. When the mites die, bacteria are released that exacerbate the symptoms of rosacea.
The disease coexists with seborrhoeic dermatitis in 26% of patients and scalp in 28%.
Treatment for rosacea:
Rosacea is a chronic benign disease with bouts and recesses. Proper treatment is based on patient
education to avoid aggravating factors, proper skin care and, of course, appropriate treatment. Good patient and dermatologist
collaboration helps keep the disease in a recessive state for a long time and minimize bouts and avoid exacerbations for proper
treatment of the disease. Environmental factors and lifestyle affect the symptoms of rosacea. It is advisable to avoid aggravating
and excretory factors such as intense exercise, alcohol consumption, hot drinks, spicy food, sun exposure, warm environment,
extreme temperatures, hot baths, sauna, of course stress or anger, as well as the use of beauty products and skin care, with acidic
and alcoholic ingredients or other substances, irritating to the skin causing intense vasodilation, resulting in disease outbreaks.
It is recommended to daily clean the skin with special cleansers and appropriate medication and dermocosmetics. The choice of
treatment is personalized for each patient according to the type of rosacea. It is important and true for all patients, particularly
those who suffer from a red-teledgee-like form of the disease, to avoid the use of chemically formulated sunscreen products.
products containing natural protective agents are preferred.
For treatment of rosacea there are several treatment options:
1. Oral medicines: antibiotics (tetracyclines, macrolides, metronidazole)
2. Topical treatments: metronidazole and azoleic acid as well as dermocosmetic products
3. Laser devices and light sources to treat erythema and telangiectasia, such as vascular LASER, ie PULSED-DYE LASER,
fractional laser, CO2 Laser.
4. Phototherapy has a double effect on the effects of Demodex folliculorum. The phototherapy uses the pure, visible,
and life-giving spectrum of light, which is responsible for the presence of life on the planet for the treatment of
inflammation and bacteria. With the red light spectrum (633 nm) we achieve a reduction in inflammation, while with
the blue light spectrum (415 nm) antibacterial activity, as it affects the bacteria present in the mites. So the treatment
of rosacea is effective.
5. Combined use of photodynamic therapy (PDT).
6. In summary, rosacea is a benign dermatopathy with outbursts and recesses, in which good dermatologist and patient
collaboration helps to overcome it.
