Recent research has suggested rosacea may be caused by a bacteria named Mycoplasma. This bacteria is also suspect as the cause, or co-factor, in arthritis and psoriasis. Featherstone offers a new product, Neemu@Nite™, specifically targeting rosacea. Neemu@Nite™ is a topical product possibly providing relief to the skin discomfort. This treatment plan provides an internal and external alternative solution for rosacea pain relief.
Rosacea is a disorder potentially affecting both skin and eyes. It is not completely known what causes rosacea. It is suspected excessive sun exposure may exacerbate the condition. Rosacea occurs most often during the adult year, usually between the ages of 30 and 60. It can be found rarely in children. Women seem to have a higher frequency of occurrence than men of the skin disorder, but both sexes are equal with the ocular version. It is incorrectly assumed white, fair-skinned people suffer more than darker skinned people. Some researchers feel dark skin hides the symptoms more easily than does lighter skin.Treatments
Conventional treatments for rosacea usually consists of dosages of
oral tetracycline. Doxycycline and minocycline have also be used with some
degree of success. Some general advice to patients is for them to refrain
from exposure to extreme heat or cold, excessive sun exposure, eating
spicy foods, and alcohol.
Conventional topical products usually contain metronidazole and can be found in gels. Products containing corticosteroids may help, but long term use is not advised because of possible side affects. In extreme conditions, even surgery has been recommended.
Alternative methods include products with antibacterial ingredients. Emu oil has proven to be a natural substance offering many properties helpful in the treatment of rosacea. Skin irritation is greatly reduced when using products containing at least 10% emu oil. Some herbs such as neem, andiroba, tea tree, ginger, and lavender have also been reported to give ease to the suffering of rosacea.
