I know you're just trying to inform people, but you didn't touch on gut health at all, instead you're making it sound like this condition just appears and stays due to some magic. Well, no. It mainly seems to be coming from gut issues, but dermatologists refuse to see the whole picture. They're sloppily patching a symptom, not treating the cause.
Applying a tiny bit of 'horsepaste' ivermectin works. Cheaper than prescription cream, but same active ingredient. If its mites as your cause, this works.
CLOVE OIL!!! I had a red spot on my cheek that grew. Docs tried topical meds that didn’t work. Then I thought back to how it started. I got it after I let a bearded landscaper borrow my phone. That made me wonder if it was parasites or mites in my skin. I decided to use Clove Oil. I applied it and after the second night my red area started flaking. After applying the Clove Oil every night for 5-7 days, that area had shed several layers of skin and revealed new beautiful skin. Apply the Clove Oil to the red areas only. I used it straight out of the bottle but if it’s too strong, add a little rosehip oil or other mild oil to tone down the strength.
@@HappySingh-pp7zt I’m so sorry you have rosacea. Around 25 years ago a man borrowed my phone at the office where I worked. I noticed he sweat all over it so I wiped off my phone then went back to using it. A week later i noticed a red spot on my cheek where the phone used to touch my face. That spot grew the size of a quarter and for 3-4 years I thought it was allergies… One dermatologist said it was a fungus and prescribed a topical cream but that didn’t work. Later, a different dermatologist said it was rosacea and gave me a cream called i think Fenacia??? But that didn’t work. I then talked to friends who were into holistic healing and that made me wonder if it was skin mites, buried under the skin. I applied clove oil right on that spot one night. It burned like crazy but that burning sensation faded away. The next morning my skin in that area looked a little dry so I gently exfoliated with a buff puff. Then I applied more clove oil that night. After the 3rd or 4th morning I noticed a thick very flaky patch of dry skin over that area, and only that area. I peeled it off to notice little holes where my pores were. I applied clove oil again that night. The next morning my pores were closed and skin looked smooth. That was the last I saw of that red patch. I really think I must’ve gotten some kind of skin mites from that man who borrowed my phone. Maybe you can try clove oil on a very small section of your skin for a few days and see what happens. I pray you will be healed.🙏🏽✝️❤️
The reason the clove oil works is because it kills demodex eggs! I am a Parasitic Infection Specialist for an herbal company and clove oil is an important part of our parasite cleanse kit because it kills eggs unlike wormwood or black walnut hull that kills/paralyzes adults. Did you use clove oil essential oil or clove tincture made w alcohol???
As a long-term sufferer this advice is super helpful. So many things trigger it for me - sun, cold, wind, spicy food, alcohol, exercise. I'm going to try some over-the-counter azelaic acid cream. Thank you!
As an esthetian who suffers rosacea, I recommend the Paula's choice azelaic acid 10%! If you're super sensitive, it will take a few days to a week for skin to adjust to the ingredient but this one is the least drying I've tried on the market
I have papulopustular rosacea. It was diagnosed as acne, which I also have, but no rosacea diagnosis until last year. Family doc put me on Spironalactone & Tretinoin for acne, but nothing for rosacea. I changed up my skin care routine to Wash with Panoxyl every day & now I use Tea Tree Oil & Ivermectin. Still using the Tretinoin & Spironalactone. Also sun screen when outdoors, Ive been using Shisheido brand. Last but not least, I make sure my eyelashes get cleaned well with OcuScrub Lid scrub. And drink so much water. My skin is almost clear for the first time in 14 years!
I just discoverer I have rosacea. There are 2 causes: microbial and insulin related. Skin conditions are often related to high insulin. You don't need to be fat either to have high insulin. An all hands approach works. Low carb diet, use sulfur facemasks, use IPL and red light therapy, use anti redness moisturizers and washes, use azelaic acid, and try metrogel or ivermectin cream. No perfumes, use mineral sunscreens. Just 2 weeks of this regime and my skin looks better now than it did when I was 20. Chris, i agree with the other comments. You have given me more info than my doctor. Appreciated. Subscribed.
I’m 11 day into a no sugar no carb, organic meat and vegetable diet only. In the last 3 days my skin has never been worse. Let’s hope it’s just mites dying off…
Thank you so much for this info! It’s made me realise that my rosacea has started very close to when I decided to introduce carbs into my diet. Thank you!
@@DanWhiting-s5k It continued to get worse and worse. So after 3.5 weeks i gave up because it was the worst it had ever been. I have tried pretty much everything you can imagine and the only thing that works is no alcohol, lots of exercise for weeks on end.
I have been dealing with this for over 13 years. Tried everything you can possibly imagine! Just few months ago I was having a flare up and applied 👁️verMctin gel (if you know what I mean) 6 days later my face was clear and I no longer needed adding the gel. My skin is beautiful since!!!
Thank you Doc! I have it but it's never bothered me. I've learned to live with it. It flares up in summer. Not so noticeable in winter. My dad has it too. I started getting Rosacea when I was in my 40s. I tried to explain to some co-workers in Japan it is a skin disease and they seemed to not believe me. It's very common among the English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Scandinavian people.
You know that feeling when someone gives you a hug that you didn't know you needed. That's how your comments at the end of this video made me feel. I appreciate your content..
I have the type of rosacea and have a gell for outbreaks. Lately I had an outbreak for 3 months . Even the gel would not work. I found that rosacea is an inflammation, so I took turmeric capsules and drank green tea as well as using the green tea bag and apply the liquid in the tea bag by rubbing it o. My face. Within a few days it was visually clearing also Honey is also a natural anti inflammatory and promotes healing but I found green tea worked great and fast
@@Rainbow-fn9xu green tea tea bags. Make a cup of hot water and place a tea bag in the water. Use a cotton ball and dip into the tea gently apply to face
@@tinagold1505 id imagine just green tea bags as standard. I want to try this I have the mild rosacea acne like spots on the cheeks that won’t budge.. 4 days if metrodizole gel and they r still there.. I am thinking to try the turmeric & green tea combo as this poster spoke of, did you have any luck????
If I may share: I have tried nearly all otc, Rx, etc. etc.. The only prescription that cleared my face up was Claravis (Accutane). I was desperate on an unfathomable level (perhaps some of you are, as well). Additionally, the only long-term ‘cure’ I have found to work, is fasting (18 hours fast, 6-hour eating window), a plant-based diet; and - to the contrary, cold-water swimming. Sodium sulfacetamide with green tea and aloe vera helped immensely
Dear Dr, you have gorgeous skin! I have rosacea for the last forty years. I have the spider veins on my cheeks. Nothing helps, but thank you for trying to help us.
I’m Scottish and I can sometimes hear a wee Scottish twang in your accent ❤ great info ! I suffer from mild rosacea mostly with thread veins on my cheeks . I’m now more informed and ready to treat. Many thanks and I’m jealous of your beautiful clear skin! ❤
Thank you Doc, this was really helpful to me as a younger rosacea sufferer. It has been really hard for me to deal with my skin condition :( I wish there was a cure. P.S - You have a really nice reassuring and calming presence.
Topicals only treat symptoms. Tetracyclines are gut disrupters. They do not solve the root of the problem which is systemic inflammation caused by diet. Your inflammation is manifesting through the skin. What you're putting inside your body is more impactful than what you're putting on your body. For anyone with auto-immune conditions such as skin ailments, try the following: 1. Remove all grains (not just gluten), dairy, and processed foods from your diet. 2. Avoid vegetable/seed oils. The only oils you should be consuming are extra virgin olive, coconut, or avocado. 3. Limit nuts and other sources of omega 6 polyunsaturated fats. 4. Adopting a low-carb lifestyle. Doesn't necessarily have to be keto, but insulin exacerbates all auto-immune conditions. 5. Intermittent fasting.
You can still drink coffee, its the heat from coffee that triggers it. You can find many flavors of cold brews that are delish- give u the caffeine wout the trigger of inflamation
I have a very mild case. I'm controlling with a rich diet in fish, veggies, and fruits. My triggers are spice foods (only if I eat them often) and sun. I avoid the sun. (I live in S. Florida 😅) I manage it. Now face moisturizer bothers me by iching. I used IT gel, which was great but vanished. My dermatologist advised me to go to Clinique, but I didn't like it.
Correction it can affect all people to include people with darker skin, representation matters so while giving information DO NOT leave out people with non pale skin.
I’ve had rosacea, lately it’s gotten bad, my skin looked like red leather with a little of those bumps. My sister gave me a colloidal silver in a spray bottle. I have been using it daily for last week. My skin is really clear right now. It kills viruses or bacteria. So maybe this killed those mites.
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this excellent video - it changed my life - I developed extremely inflammatory rosacea and it truly destroyed my confidence and mood for 6 months .But your video was the most informative video that I found and I ended up ringing my GP the day after explaining exactly the type of Rosacea I had and that I was pretty sure I needed Soolantra to fix it . Within a week my rosacea was nearly all gone and I had glowing smooth skin again . Thank you so much
Thank you for this video ! I have rosacea since 2 years. I’m pregnant (38 weeks) and my rosacea is worst now.. do you know if pregnancy can affect the rosacea ? I’ve try acelaïque acide, the antibiotic creme « Rosex » and clindamicide but not working on me … Sorry for my english i’m french 😇
Hello! Pregnancy itself can definitely trigger rosacea. Unfortunately, treatment options are fairly limited in pregnancy as there isn't much data showing their safety profile regarding pregnancy. It depends on your subtype and discussing with your healthcare professionals about the various treatments. In the UK, there is a website that gives you a good summary of what can/cannot be used in pregnancy. www.medicinesinpregnancy.org
Ive just read something on google about sugar being a trigger and im going to try very very hard to cut this out and see if it works but it will be very hard
Tomatoes- V8, oranges anything w citric acid triggers my rosacea- heat and Sun make worse and stress. Keep a clean gut. I use Cetaphil face cleanser morning and evening pat dry and apply Metrogel. Important to use all fragrance free products
I have no symptoms at all that I know of but with that said I still am not willing to accept living my life with these demodex mites. The only reason why we tolerate living with them is because we can't see them or feel them. An example of this would be scabies. We can't see them but we can feel them so we don't tolerate them. I need to know how to get rid of these mites and how to keep them off me. No one can tell me this.
I got rosacea at 15 yrs old sadly... it choose the worst time to appear, its the age when teens care about their looks girls especially (like me), in elementary i didnt have much of an acne but most of my pears had them , now when im in highschool everyone is healing from them and now they have clear faces EXCEPT ME!!!! i've been trying everything and it only got worse this summer i got sometihing else on my face i think its ecezma idk my parents dont have time to go with me in dermatologist to diagnose me... this summer was hell not only do i have rosacea ,but my face itches so bad...i hate when people in school point out how red i am, it just crushes my confidence so much. I had really bad anxiety and i started getting rid of it and BAM rosacea comes... the girl that i sit with in class complains about single pimple on forhead while my face is burning next to her.... i just want to punch people like that in their freaking clean face. Even my mother calls me a cry baby for crying about it :( However stupid this sound i just wish i got acne,even a full face acne idc!! This shit is worse a 100 times. Girl in my class had full face acne and bam she got rid of it by just drinking some medicine, why cant it work like that on this stupid shit... i ve tried sona,doksicilin two times, biology anti reddnes, avene stuff, cerave,afrodita, laroshe posay, etc and i still look like a tomato. Right now im tryng to fix my diet im not eating diary and gluten hope this saves my ass. Rn im 16 and its scary to think that i had this shit for a year--- I see some of people in comments saying they had it muchhhh longer and im just scared of that like what!!??!?! I cannot live like this!! I will try to get rid of it i miss going to the beach and just enjoying the sun. The last time i went my face got the worst it has ever been. Now the winter is coming and my face always gets worse and im so scared rn cause im going to the medical school and i will have praxis in hospital with people imagine a nurse with red ass face ...... and sometimes i will have to put my mask on and i know how hot it will be under it and i will get even red -er Oh lord help me🫠
I’m assuming I have some kind of rosacea , I have burning skin tightness stinging pain when I apply water to wash my face . Waiting on dermatologist appointment can’t come soon enough
Regarding Rosacea and the theory it is caused or worsened by demodex mites I‘d like to know your opinion on a certain skincare product called Demoderm. Main active substances are sulfor and zinc. It also contains menthol. This skincare product is supposed to detox the skin and doing so it is said it can lead to an intense worsening of the skin in the beginning as part of the detox process. The skin is supposed to heal itself eventuall so that - according to the Demoderm-thoery - the skin doesn‘t need any skincare at all and should regulate itself. During that detox period it is said, that Demoderm is drying out the sebum in the skin so demodex mites would basically starve and die and the skin can recover. The pores on Rosacea-skin are referred to as Demodex-pores. I‘d really like to know your opinion on these theories because I can‘t find any statement by a dermatologist, not on Google nor on RU-vid and I would like to know if Demoderm is worth a try. Many Thanks!
Really informative video thank you. I’m not sure if I have rosacea or eczema as my face is itchy and flaky as well as red. Can anyone tell me if rosacea is itchy ?
Rosacea can be highly itchy and even painful. But as the doctor said it is necessary to get properly diagnosed as rosacea can often be confused with acne types.
Same, i have very dry and dull skin now and textured, it burns mostly after i wash and apply lotion. It used to get very flushed back when i used to go to class during the day but there is no redness on skin now, just some red ance marks like thing. I never had acne so i am.not sure what that is. I am struggling to figure out if i have dermatitis, rosacea or just allergic reaction

Hi Thanks for information i gott vaskular rosacea för almost one year ago efter a short time of hormon treatment for menopaus which now i stopp taken them i had a few doctor visist but They really dont care and now my skin is stil untreated i dont live in uk. I am working in healt care branch and i have to wear both mask and sheild during day which i fel my skin gets very hot under this cover. Besides of hormons i think even this was anothere factor for me to develope rosacea. Thanks if you can answer me about effect of masks and sheild on face and even treatment
Thank u for caring 😊 An amazing topical treatment for skin disease is SELSUN anti dandruff shampoo with Selenium. Leave a thin layer on skin fr a few hours or overnight. This also fixes scalp pustules. Also nail fungus. All treated the same way. Also fr itchy ear problems. 🌸🇿🇦
I have had a skin condition for 40 years. The dermatologists at the hospital didn't know what it was and had never seen anything like before. Neither had any of his team. After 2 years of tests, they gave up. I feel its ike bugs under my skin, but again, no one listens. I live in SW Scotland. I've had enough. Like really had enough. I have tried everything. 40 years.....off jt am 49Thank you for your video.
I have this and it seems to get worse when I don't shave for a couple of days, I itch the stubble and it then turns red, I will be trying to eradicate the mites first, then look at my diet.
Early exposure to mites is the most likely cause of an overpopulation. We get them from our mother and father primarily in childhood then the right conditions cause an explosion of mites in the teen years. One comment about using Vaseline is interesting. I had a pharmacist tell me Vaseline keeps the mites from moving so reproduction becomes difficult.
My Rosacea coincided with the start of a kind of statin, although the doctors play down the medication side effects, does say it can cause facial rash. So, who is to say my Rosacea rash sometimes turning into the inflamed and painful rash on my face hasn't been a side effect of this medication. ☹
Mine too! Thanks for highlighting this played-down side effect! Incidentally, I tried taking plant based sterols to control cholesterol and they 'coincidentally' seem to have had a similar effect. I found a night cream from Boots that contains niacinamide and it helps with the redness and bumps - look it up, it's listed as a potential rosacea treatment (not cure). However there are now cosmetic face creams/cleansers that also contain niacinamide (e.l.f. is one). I have stopped the statin and the plant sterols (I didn't take them at the same time!) and am trying lifestyle and diet changes to control both conditions. Rosacea is also triggered by stress, so if you're stressed by the discomfort and disfiguring effects of rosacea then that can only make things worse! Doctors in the UK are licensed and to keep their licenses must prescribe at levels set by an overseeing medical body - sorry I don't know which - so they are also in a bit of a bind about what they can prescribe/recommend. I hope you find some relief soon.
I'm South East Asian. I've had Rosacea for more than 10 years. Now I'm suffering from Rosacea outbreak for more than one month. The cause is from heat and sun exposure. The doctor prescribed Onreltea but it makes the outbreak worse after a week of using it. On my daily routine, I use Noritate at night, Eucerin Dry skin 5% Urea and Alumier Sheer Hydration sunscreen for daytime. The outbreak destroy my summer, I can't nor don't want to go outside 😢. Thank you for your informative video ❤
My dermatologist gave me three different medications for rosacea and none of them worked. I did some research on my own and found out the high concentration of demodex in rosacea patients so on my own I ordered ivermectum My dermatologist told me it wouldn't work and it was dangerous but I decided to try it anyway I applied it a thin layer on my face instantly the burning stopped Applying it once a day for 10 days All my rosacea populace where 100% gone All I have left is a small amount of Red Be your own advocate
I live in the US and I have a mild form of inflammatory rosacea and the dermatologist prescribed me sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur cleanser and metronidazole cream the problem is I use the cleanser but not the cream so much and also environmental and reluctance to reduce my coffee intake does not help much it really affects me emotionally but I try to manage
Hey brother do u think moisturizer, oil base moisturizer and facial oils can trigger the redness?? I found i have stage 1 rosecea and my skin get trigger by oils and oil base products .
I would avoid them if you find that they are triggering your rosacea. There’s no right or wrong in this as some people find them useful in calming the skin down. Just make sure you look at the ingredient list to make sure there are no irritating products.
I think I have the second type, but I have some red stripes bellow the sideburns, and the neck right bellow/behind the ears. The only triggers I see are stress and too much exercise, like a long bike ride or something.
i suffer from acnea rosacea and its gone terrible from when its started till now its started at age 18 im 21 now and its miserable not eating tgat stuff i like even eating antinflamatroy foods triggers my face and antibiotics makes its worse
Have a look at histamine intolerance, see if you have the symptoms. Only antibiotic that ever helped me was a low dose 40mg doxycycline (the one typically used for rosacea). That cleared mine up and I start roaccutane soon to see if I can keep it away. (Both rosacea and hormonal blemishes)
