Why is my skin worsening with rosacea treatment?

Patient's Query

hi, i’m a 19 year old young woman. Starting in September 2024, I started noticing a pinkish tinge on my cheeks, primarily on my left. I stopped using blush at first, thinking it was an allergic reaction to my makeup. But then the redness became more pronounced and spread to both cheeks. For a long time, it was even on both cheeks, and it gradually became more noticeable, and the texture became a bit rough. I was very bothered by this appearance and couldn't understand why it was getting worse; it made me very nervous. I then went to many different doctors, but the doctors at the public hospital prescribed me ridiculous products that didn't suit my skin type. With each doctor's prescription, the skin got worse and more noticeable. My last visit was a month ago, and I was told I had rosacea. But with the facial cleansing foam and rosacea cream he prescribed, my skin is now much worse. Rosacea is extremely visible, turning red. My right cheek is more prominent again, and it's not just on my cheekbone; it now seems to be all over that cheek. I really don't know what to use or do.

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

From your description, it does sound like you may have rosacea. This condition can cause redness, flushing, and even changes in skin texture over time. Sometimes certain products or triggers can worsen it, as you've noticed. What I'd recommend is simplifying your skincare routine. Stick to gentle, fragrance-free products and avoid anything that could irritate your skin further. It might also help to identify and avoid triggers like spicy foods or extreme temperatures. If the current treatment isn't working. There are other options we can explore together. Let's work on finding a solution that suits your skin type and helps manage your rosacea effectively.

What happened if I accidentally swallow 3 pouches of cool lip? What are medthods to prevent this?

Male | 30

Swallowing three of those cool lip pouches could be harmful. The pouches contain chemicals that may cause stomachaches, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Make sure such products are always kept away from children and animals. If someone does this, have them drink lots of water to dilute what they gulped down and call Poison Control right away.

Hello I am Vanitha Kotian and my hair is pretty dry and brittle.which shampoo, oil and conditioner do u recommend

Female | 52

dry and fragile hair can result from many reasons such as genetics, poor nutrition or surrounding. On the other hand, it is always advisable to see a dermatologist who can inspect your scalp and strands of hair in order to establish exactly what has caused this condition. They can then offer specific hair care products and treatments that address your needs.
