Rosacea laser treatment can lead to recurrence. Since rosacea itself is a hereditary disease, it is prone to relapse. Even with successful treatment, lack of care in daily life can lead to recurrence. Frequent staying up late, consuming spicy and stimulating foods, and drinking alcohol can also cause relapse. Therefore, even after rosacea has significantly improved through treatment, it is essential to be mindful in daily life. Try to avoid alcohol and hot drinks, and do not consume spicy foods like chili peppers. These foods can trigger vascular dilation in the skin, and once the blood vessels of a rosacea patient dilate, it becomes quite challenging to reverse, potentially worsening the symptoms. Also, avoid exposure to overly warm air conditioning, as it too can stimulate vascular dilation, causing irreversible skin damage.

Is rosacea related to the endocrine system?

Rosacea is related to endocrine disorders. Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by central facial redness and dilated blood vessels. It is a common skin condition significantly linked to the endocrine system. It is usually caused by an increase in skin sebaceous glands due to the overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes, excessive sebum secretion, and clogged pores, leading to symptoms like redness, papules, and pustules. When dealing with rosacea, attention should be paid to diet, avoiding staying up late, and avoiding excessive fatigue. Treatment should involve the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for differential diagnosis and treatment, or the use of anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, such as Minocycline capsules or Doxycycline hydrochloride capsules. Treatment can also be supplemented with red and blue light therapy.

Also, pay attention to your diet, avoiding overly greasy, spicy, and irritating foods.

The difference between roseola and pityriasis rosea

Pityriasis rosea and pityriasis versicolor are completely different conditions. Pityriasis rosea is a disease caused by a herpes virus infection, which is contagious. On the other hand, pityriasis versicolor is an inflammatory skin disease, which is not contagious. The cause is not particularly clear, but it may be related to infections or allergies. Furthermore, the treatments for pityriasis rosea and pityriasis versicolor are different. Pityriasis rosea can be treated with antiviral medications, along with symptomatic treatments such as reducing fever, etc. Pityriasis versicolor is recommended to be treated with antiallergic or astringent medications.
