Hi Andee,
Rosacea is a very difficult condition to get rid of, but it can often be alleviated. It affects small groups of capillaries close to the surface of the skin on the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin which become dilated, resulting in blotchy red areas with small bumps. This inflammation of Rosacea can look a great deal like acne and tends to be more chronic, but whiteheads and blackheads are almost never present.
Although the exact cause of Rosacea is not understood, there are a number of often aggravating factors, such as hot liquids, spicy foods, sunlight, humidity, temperature extremes, makeup and especially skin care products containing alcohol. Stress and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are also thought to be a factor.
Colloidal silver has been very effective for many people, indicating that the cause in some cases may be micro-organism related, especially bacteria.
Here is a list of products that may be effective or helpful:
Silver Aloe Gel contains colloidal silver and aloe vera- http://www.utopiasilver.com/products/supplements/silveraloe.htm
