  1. Yes, please if you want our organization to run and if you want us to keep updating on rosacea. You have to play a little role by donating to our organization. It's really not a big deal. We all are rosaceans and this is the community of rosaceans and we understand each other's rosacea concern. So if you help us, we will be encouraged to continue updating on this issue.

    Final Appeal

    first you stop consuming alcohol completely and see the result after one month. I am not saying that alcohol is causing your rosacea getting worse but sometimes it happens that any trigger which causes flare-ups, if we consume them only once would immediately cause flare-ups. This is only to see whether alcohol is your trigger or not and please share your results.
  3. Only little group study with 14 candidates will not suffice the result of alcohol consumption not as a risk factor in rosacea and we over and over say that every rosacea person has different triggers associated with them and depends on the the degree of alcohol consumption just like any other intake triggers.
  4. Yes it is a growing concern because it could be possible that no antibiotic will be left to cure the diseases in future because bacteria could develop resistance to every antibiotic since we are using antibiotics without any concern and knowledge and antibiotic stewardship programs make aware people and physicians of antibiotic prescription and use. I have covered these topics earlier here and here.
  5. Yes it is likely possible that following mohs surgery, rosacea can exacerbate in patient because in mohs surgery, the cancer skin is excised and removed and the normal skin tissue is not disturbed but following skin excision and removal, the normal skin environment is disturbed and so it can cause rosacea exacerbation.
  6. Yes because anything which comes into contact with skin, skin has resident immune cells and they are primarily come into rescue just like army men and mast cells are one of them. They play a key role as army men. So it would be a better immunotherapy if we target mast cells.
  7. and anything which you are consuming a lot may cause trigger. Drink but one or two times a day and see if it changes anything because you need to watch what triggers you or what not.
  8. Yes Elaine we sometimes take antibiotics on our own and due to the misdiagnosis of physician and taking antibiotics for a longer period of time (you mentioned years) would adversely affect our overall system because we live with so many microorganisms inside as well as outside on our skin. Most of the microbes are friendly and live with commensalism but taking wrong antibiotics or unnecessarily when you do not have any issue or taking steadily for a longer period of time not only cause side effects but will make your microbes resistant to antibiotics whether they are friendly and when they become resistant they cause serious problems and I guess because of this, you get these issues and your rosacea also became worse.
  9. Yes actually I went through her article on these proteins and food triggers when I read the heading I thought these natural food items are good when consumed but when I read through it I found that these compounds are found in a very trace amount naturally in these foods and do not cause any problem as such but when these chemical compounds are used as preservatives in food and personal care products, then it is of concern. Obviously we all know that preservatives are very bad for our overall health because it keeps our food fresh for a longer period of time and we can understand that what keeps our stuff fresh whether food or skin products for a longer period of time, would badly affect in a long run and when you are already immune sensitive. Eat natural as possible as you can which directly comes from nature (whether fruits or vegetables) and don't go overboard with anything. Eat less Packaged foods or remove it from your lifestyle. Understand your body and its functions. See, we take a lot of myths but what suits you, may not suit the other person when it comes to rosacea and it is all about trial and error and you need to find out what suits you best.
  10. Correct point. Rather you can decrease the consumption of tea and coffee. I myself drink tea regularly and sometimes coffee instead of tea but I never get any flushing. Drinking only one cup of tea or coffee in a whole day is OK but if you drink more than one cup will definitely cause flushing and not good for health.
  11. Yes Indians have a habit of using a lot of turmeric in every dish because it is one of the popular and common spices in India and used to get strong immunity.
  12. Oil Pulling is not a new thing as people are considering now a days to flush toxins out of their body but it has its root in Ayurveda in an ancient text "Charak Samhita" and is called "Gandusha Kriya", which is an ancient practice of swishing or holding the prescribed substance in the mouth for a prolonged time. Which basically says that toxins and bacteria build up in the mouth will be drawn out by holding the substance until saliva fills your mouth to the point where you can not control the hold. How to do oil pulling? 1. It should be done in the morning after you wake up and before brush. 2. The substance prescribed for gandusha (depending on the problem) are milk, honey, ghee or oils such as; sesame oil, olive oil or coconut oil but I do it with coconut oil. 3. Do not swallow oil as it has toxins and bacteria in it. try to hold properly because your mouth will be filled with saliva gradually. 4. Spit out thoroughly and after a while wash your mouth and then you can brush your teeth. 5. Do it regularly and make it a practice. Now the point is why I am explaining this practice here? Apart from clearing toxins and bacteria, it treats dental and oral problems and helps stabilize digestive functions. After clearing your toxins, obviously you have gotten rid of so many internal problems but there are some great benefits of oil pulling for the skin. Benefits of oil pulling for the skin Gandusha helps tone your skin and bring glow to your skin and softens the rough surface, lines and wrinkles and the most important thing doing this is that it helps reduce my flushing by slowly lessening the visible blood vessels. I have been doing this practice, so I know, it helps in rosacea by improving your skin and if you do it daily, you will find improvement in your rosacea gradually. Make this a practice first thing in the morning.
  13. Wow this is incredible and I must praise you for this and I wish people now will watch this and understand the time and effort to make this organization.
  14. Great job Brady. This is the best trailer video for rosacea.
  15. Yes neurovascular regulation is directly related to rosacea. when we itch aberrantly in this condition, that is the reason that our neurovascular regulation is disturbed and causing aggressive itch to occur and we need to find out what causing this communication between neuropeptides and immune cells in chronic inflammation?
  16. I have used dried Calendula flowers infused with coconut oil and applied this concoction for few months and it has amazing effects on erythema and soothes your irritating skin.
  17. What if you could divide your whole meal which you consume in one day into half raw and half cooked means I eat my meals which have some cooked veggies and grains and cereals and have equal amount of fruits, raw salad and leafy vegetables chopped in it. My meals contain cooked items and raw items both. So, basically you do not eat whole day only cooked food, you also take a lot of fibers, vitamins, minerals through raw items also. So it should have a perfect balance of both things. Actually some people do not prefer eating any raw salad item at night because they cause bloating and gas production and it is a good thing not eating any raw food at night because according to Ayurveda, our stomach follows the sun's energy and as the sun goes up, our stomach fire is high at that time and whatever you eat during the day, you easily digest the food and do not eat both raw and cooked together because they both take different time to digest. Raw foods take longer to digest and cooked food takes less time than raw to digest and when they are eaten together they cause imbalance and foods which are undigested are stuck in your colon produce toxins and release these contents into your blood and are the cause of different diseases including rosacea. People not understanding what they are eating, how they are eating, is the cause of chronic diseases. So clearing your gut is the most important thing to consider because not only it helps in managing your rosacea but it helps in other ailments also. It's a very simple deal.
  18. There is no need to panic about this condition and you can actually manage and control this condition. This condition does not own you, you own this condition.
  19. Demodex mites are normal inhabitant of skin surface and found in low numbers in healthy individuals but when their numbers are increased and replicate they cause problematic conditions and cause rosacea because they secrete proinflammatory mediators which interact with skin resident immune cells and signaling pathways causing inflammatory responses.
  20. HLA-DR is actually an antigen and is a biomaker of inflammation.
  21. Depression is one further stage of chronic stress when you prolong the stress period for a longer period of time,it gradually steps into depression and you all know very well that stress is directly related to rosacea. even when you panic about something or any situation your skin suddenly shows the symptoms of rosacea out of nowhere.
  22. Oxidative stress is something our body's cells go through and accumulate reactive oxygen species in cells and here antioxidants come into play which neutralizes these ROS by giving one electron to it and hence we talk about antioxidants heavily in skin care because oxidative stress causes ageing and related to inflammation which is a part of rosacea.
  23. Intestinal bacterial overgrowth is really a major thing when considering rosacea because I have experienced personally when I have irritable bowel and disturbed intestine I understand that it is connected to my rosacea and intestinal bacterial overgrowth causes rosacea to worsen.
  24. Bradykinin is a protein which causes inflammation and release by S. aureus family of bacteria which cause blood vessels to dilate and cause rosacea symptoms.
