Top Solutions for Rosacea & Eczema
Rosacea causes redness around the nose and cheeks, while eczema can occur anywhere on the body and causes intense itching.
One of the main differences between rosacea and eczema is the location of the redness. While both conditions can cause redness, rosacea is typically localized to the center of the face, particularly around the nose, whereas eczema can occur anywhere on the body. Additionally, while rosacea does not typically cause itching, eczema is known for causing intense itching that can often interfere with daily activities.
What are the signs and symptoms of rosacea?
While it is not known what causes rosacea, there are some triggers that can make symptoms worse or even cause outbreaks.
- This chronic skin condition causes visible blood vessels to appear on the face.
- Redness can occur around the nose,cheeks, chin and forehead.
- Rosacea may also cause small, red, bumps or pustules as well as thickened skin.
- Sometimes, those with rosacea may experience mild discomfort or a burning sensation in the affected areas.
What are the signs and symptoms of eczema?
- Eczema (which is also known as atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy and red skin.
- It can appear anywhere on the body with patches of dry, thickened scaly skin.
- Sometimes, eczema can also cause small, fluid-filled blisters. These can ooze and crust over, perhaps leading to temporary skin discoloration or skin thickening.
- Many people with eczema use the phrase “flare-up” to describe a phase of eczema when they are experiencing one or more acute symptoms or side effects from prolonged itchiness.
- Severe eczema may include periods of flare-ups that can last many days or even several weeks.
- Atopic dermatitis, the most common type of eczema (sometimes referred to as “atopic eczema”) is caused by an overactive immune system that causes the skin barrier to become dry and itchy.
- It is good to know that eczema is not contagious.
- Those with eczema will often also complain of symptoms of hay fever, allergic asthma and food allergies. There is a connection between all four conditions.
Once you have received the correct diagnosis for your skin condition, treatment for both conditions can include lifestyle changes, topical and oral medications as well as a more natural approach. Both conditions require ongoing care and management.
