ROSACEA TRIGGERS CORTISONE

Rosacea Triggers Cortisone - using a topical (applied to the skin) cortisone cream on your face is extremely dangerous to the health of your skin. Click here to see what cortisone did to my skin.

Many dermatologists will prescribe a topical cortisone (corticosteroid) cream for the control of skin conditions including Rosacea.

All Cortisone creams have anti-inflammatory properties and are classified according to their vosoconstriction properties. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels, resulting in less blood getting to the surface, resulting in a paler skin.

Cortisone creams are very effective for inflammation and reducing the red face of Rosacea. Great, so what's the problem ....

The side effects are the problem -

  • Thinning of the skin
  • Steroid induced telengiectasia - red spider veins
  • Steroid Induced Rosacea
  • Rebound effect - withdrawal of the cream can lead to aggressive recurrence of Rosacea
  • Addiction - your body produces it's own cortisone but stops production when using cortisone cream is used regularly
  • Tolerance to the action of the drug with regular use
  • A whole host of skin rreactions - dermatitis
Short term use
If your face is very red and your papules very inflamed, you could ask your dermatologist to prescribe a short-term course of cortisone cream - just to get you symptoms under control. Then you can start a long-term program to control your Rosacea.

Rosacea Relief Cream is an effective, natural alternative to cortisone creams. Click here for more information.

Vasodilators
Vasodilators are used in the treatment of some cardiovascular diseases and these cause flushing (more blood getting to the skin surface) which is obviosuly not good for your Rosacea.

You should discuss this with your medical advisor if you are on this medication.

Hi Mike

Thank you for bringing Rosacea Relief cream into my life.

Since using Rosacea relief my skin appeared much calmer after a couple of days.

After two weeks, the flaky skin has cleared and I have no redness.

I just wanted to say that I hope you never stop making this cream.

I started using the cream the night I received it and at first saw little difference .... However within 2 weeks I looked noticeably better.

There is NO doubt in anyone's opinion-family gathering two weeks ago- that my face looks better than it has looked for years and years. (I'll be 48 in 2 months).

I have been using your cream for over a month and the results are quite incredible.

As an eczema sufferer for many years, it has been a challenge to find skin care products that are both appealing and don't irritate my skin condition.
