There are generally four main kinds of rosacea. The first kind is Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea. This type causes people to look as if they are blushing. It can happen easily and very often. It looks like the face is flushed with color or blood. Small blood vessels can also be seen below the skin surface. A person may also have burning or uncomfortable itching feelings in the area, usually the face.



The second type is Phymatous rosacea and causes the nose to become larger through the skin becoming thicker and redder. This can also happen to the chin. The third type is Ocular and affects the eyes and eyelids. The eyes may become gritty and red. The fourth type is Papulopustular rosacea and is most commonly confused with acne. This type of the condition develops red bumps, sometimes called papules, on the skin. Sometimes these contain pus and are called pustules. This type of rosacea occurs when the condition is in a severe affliction stage. This may occur at the same time as any other stage mentioned above, but as said, it usually depicts a more advanced stage of rosacea. The way it can be distinguished from acne is if it is a chronic condition, building from the blushing and flushing stage to the point where burning and tingling sensations are happening in the face and other symptoms are present.



Treatment can vary, but many things used to treat wrinkles are things that progress rosacea. These include using microdermabrasion, skin peels, chemical masks, and harsh products. The best treatment is to slow down the progress of the condition. This includes wearing sunscreen everyday, limiting the amount of time in the sun, not drinking caffeinated hot drinks, and knowing what triggers can cause an outbreak. Keeping a journal about what activities and what foods were eaten can improve a person's life with rosacea. This way they can know what causes episodes over and over and prevent them in the future, slowing down roasacea. Also, before using anything on the afflicted area or face, make sue to read the ingredients and test a small patch of skin before slathering it all over one's skin.
