Roscea on face?

Question

I have rosacea on my face. I have been taking metro gel and it has helped some what, but still some redness to the face. I was reading that rosacea may be a yeast infection and I started to apply Lamisil to my face and the redness has cleared up some what. It comes and goes, but now I can actually go some time without redness. Has anyone cured their rosacea? I heard about a product called Threelac. I actually think I might have a yeast infection (candida) on the face. I suffered from a bad internal yeast infection and cleared it up with a yeast free diet years ago. I think my body couldn't get rid of the yeast fast enough and it started to use my skin to get rid of it. That is just my theory. I am also allergic to yeast and wheat, but didn't find this out until after i turned 30. My body is probably full of dead yeast!

Answer 1

WHAT IS ROSACEA?
Rosacea is NOT a yeast infection, it is a chronic (long-term) skin disease that causes redness and swelling, primarily on the face. Other areas that can be affected are the scalp, neck, ears, chest and back. Sometimes, rosacea affects the eyes

The best advice for anyone who thinks that he or she might have rosacea is to see a dermatologist as early as possible. Experts believe early diagnosis and treatment not only control the signs and symptoms of rosacea, but might actually reverse progression.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES?
While the precise cause of rosacea remains a mystery, researchers believe that heredity and environmental factors are to blame. One explanation is that something causes the blood vessels to swell. The result, these scientists believe, is the flushing and redness characteristic of rosacea.

TREATMENT
People using topical medications, including antibiotics, should be patient. Many note slight improvements within the first month of use; however, it usually takes about two months to notice more dramatic results.

Oral (taken by mouth) antibiotics tend to work faster than topical antibiotics, and dermatologists may prescribe the following oral antibiotics to treat the pimples and bumps:

Doxycycline ,Erythromycin, Minocycline, Tetracycline

Glycolic acid may also be used to gain faster control over rosacea. The following is often used in combination with oral antibiotics:

Glycolic acid peels - Given every two to four weeks, these peels are applied to the face for up to five minutes. Following treatment, the skin is red for a few hours, and patients should avoid sun exposure until their skin returns to its normal color.

Glycolic acid washes and creams – Dermatologists may use these in low concentrations to further enhance the peel’s effect

Answer 3

Renew Life has several products that might help you. They make a Candida cleanse and a digestive enzyme called Candi-zyme. All their products are wheat, yeast and gluten free.

Also, my friend who has this affliction washes her face with a soap from the natural foods store that has echinacea in it. She says it really helps. Of course, all her face products are natural and vegan.

Excess stomach acid (GERD) can also contribute to rosacea.

Start eating yoghurt regularly, make sure it has the live and active cultures. That should help with the yeast.
