Can you help DH's rosacea?

[Coumarin]

DH has developed rosacea and I thought I'd get him some skincare that might help or at least find some to recommend.

Do you know any cleansers and moisturiser that might reduce the redness?

Not too worried about cost if it works.

Thank you in advance.

Meant to say, any skincare that won't aggravate it if not improve it, would also be fine.

According to my dermatologist, cleanse and moisturise with aqueous cream.

Roaccutaine worked amazingly for me but I have been off it for a while now and it has come back.

Is it the type of Rosacea that comes up in red spots/boils? Is it skin sensitivity?

I have rosacea, but not the skin sensitivity, so I can use just about anything. However, I've heard good things about Eucerin. There are a lots of mild, non-irritant cleansers and moisturisers out there.

Is he on medication?

I can't believe there are dermatologists still recommending aqueous cream to moisturise! it was only ever intended as a soap replacement and must be washed off as it contains detergent which can irritate.

Eucerin products are good , the anti redness night cream in particular,I wouldn't bother with the green based day lotion.

Green tea is very good, use a cooled tea bag and apply to the skin as a toner. I keep some in a small travel spray bottle.

Tbh, mine has become tons better since I over hauled my diet and ditched sugar.

It's hit and miss what will work for each individual, you just have to try and see.

Captain It's more a red sore looking rash, across his cheekbones and nose. No spots or anything.
No meds. I've suggest he go to the GP but he never goes for anything.

Thank you Disney I don't think it's bad enough for that and he wouldn't go on it anyway. Thanks though.

Dame Great suggestions. Liking the green tea toner idea. I've ditched the sugar (as you know from the Eat Better thread ) but can't seem to persuade DH to. He doesn't have much mind you so maybe I could suggest it again. Especially if it'll help his skin recover. I like the Eucerin range so added that to the list.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Coumarin - mine was caused by hormone changes, but I've also been low-carbing for 2 years and it has pretty much cleared up. In the beginning i was on an anti-biotic pill (Lymecycline, or Tettracycline) which was fab. the fact that it was a AB made my think it was prob a sugar-feeding bug on my skin (totally unscientific... )

Roaccutaine is i think the same sort of thing. He really should see a doc for medication before it gets worse - and it really could do, if left. Google it!

Can't think of any thing topical I used that was of much help - the eucerin/hypoallergenic stuff is more to stop it getting worse, IYSWIM.

It's not an allergy is it? It needs to be diagnosed really as there could be a really simple solution.

I know Dame I said much the same to him. He's had a coeliac test which came back negative. I'll see if I can persuade him to see the GP. Easier said than done though.

An anti biotic could be the thing Captain. Thank you.

Roaccutane isn't an antibiotic and it really isn't that severe.

Thanks everyone. I'll suggest the GP to him again.
