Rosacea redness can subside, and the appearance of rosacea is a common type of skin disease in clinical practice. Rosacea can indeed be cured, but it is essential to use medications in a standardized manner and ensure the treatment duration.

When presenting with rosacea, one can choose topical medications under the guidance of a doctor, such as metronidazole or clindamycin phosphate gel. It is also necessary to complement with oral medications, options include doxycycline hydrochloride capsules, minocycline hydrochloride capsules, or isotretinoin soft capsules.

In cases of rosacea, it is also important to pay attention to diet, opting for a light diet. Avoid eating spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods.

How to remove acne marks?

Most acne patients, after undergoing standard treatment, tend to retain some acne marks on their faces. These marks generally do not require special treatment and will gradually fade or disappear over time. Alternatively, patients can opt for red and blue light therapy at hospitals, which can accelerate the fading of pigmentation. They can also visit a standard hospital to have cosmetic laser treatments to remove the marks, but these effects are not particularly fast and require long-term persistence. During the treatment period, it is essential to follow a standard diet and lifestyle practices. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and to prevent staying up late, feeling anxious or tense, or excessive sun exposure, as these factors may worsen the acne marks and increase the difficulty of treatment.

What foods are good for acne?

Acne is associated with vigorous sebaceous gland secretion, consuming spicy, stimulating foods, or frequently staying up late. In daily life, eating spicy, overly greasy, overly sweet, or strongly flavored foods can stimulate excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands. During the secretion process, when mixed with bacteria on the skin surface, acne infection forms. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a light diet, consume more vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, and lean meat, and avoid overly greasy fried foods, sweets, or overly spicy foods. It's also important to avoid staying up late, feeling anxious or stressed, and to engage in regular exercise, sweat more, and take more showers, as these can all help with the condition.

The difference between rosacea and allergies

Rose acne is mostly a chronic skin inflammation that occurs on the face, with three stages including erythema, papulopustular, and rhinophyma periods. Allergic dermatitis, however, can occur as an acute inflammatory response of the skin on various parts of the body. Firstly, distinguishing between rose acne and allergic dermatitis depends on the location of the onset. Secondly, they are differentiated based on clinical manifestations. Thirdly, they are differentiated based on the condition of the disease. Rose acne is a chronic, recurrent, non-healing inflammatory skin condition, whereas allergic dermatitis is mostly transient and is a skin manifestation caused by allergic reactions. However, if allergic dermatitis occurs on the face, distinguishing it from rose acne can be challenging, and it is advisable to see a specialist in a formal hospital for an accurate diagnosis.

Does acne spread through contagion?

Acne is caused by the infection of Propionibacterium acnes. This condition is related to factors such as excessive sebum secretion of the skin, frequent consumption of spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, as well as regular late nights, anxiety, and stress. The disease is not contagious; it does not spread through contact with others, nor through sharing towels or bath scrubs. Once diagnosed, it is crucial to seek proper treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and potentially leading to scars or pits on the face. Treatment can be sought at a reputable hospital's dermatology department, where oral medication combined with topical treatments, and supplemented by phototherapy with red and blue light, can be effective. After recovery, it is important to regulate one's diet and lifestyle, avoid spicy and irritating foods, minimize staying up late, engage in exercise, bathe more frequently, and sweat more.

Does acne infect people?

Acne belongs to a disease caused by the excessive secretion of one's own sebaceous glands and an infection of the skin surface by acne propionic acid bacillus. This disease is not contagious, and it cannot be transmitted to others by touching each other or sharing towels. However, the disease has a strong recurrence, especially in patients who are in puberty. If their diet and lifestyle are not monitored in the short term, they will relapse quickly. It is recommended to receive formal treatment at a dermatology department of a regular hospital, with oral medication and topical medication. The combination of red and blue light effects can speed up the recovery. After recovery, it is crucial to maintain a standard diet and lifestyle, avoid spicy and irritating food, and try not to stay up late, feel anxious, or tense. Avoid misusing cosmetics to prevent clogging pores, which could worsen the condition. Regularly strengthen exercise, sweat more, and bathe more often.
