Papulopustular rosacea is also known as inflammatory or acne rosacea. This is because the symptoms mimic acne, which is also an inflammatory skin condition. Read on to find out more about this type of rosacea.

Papulopustular Rosacea

The condition begins as red or fluid-filled bumps that form close together on the skin. The skin itself may feel itchy or hot to touch.  It can be tricky to tell the difference between Papulopustular Rosacea and acne without a medical diagnosis. People with lighter skin may experience a red flush. Sufferers with darker skin tones may experience a yellow/brown flush.  The bumps and textured skin experienced as a symptom of papulopustular rosacea is sometime referred to as a ‘plaque’. These are raised red patches that look like a rash.

Triggers

Papulopustular Rosacea triggers are similar to the triggers of other types of rosacea:

  • Extreme temperatures
  • Sunlight
  • Exercise
  • Stress
  • Spicy/hot foods
  • Alcohol
  • Intestinal bacteria
  • Demodex skin mites.

Everyone is different and triggers vary from person to person. As with the other types of rosacea (link to previous blogs) there is no cure for PR because it is a chronic condition. This means symptoms can come and go.  Managing PR with a healthy lifestyle, by avoiding triggers, is a great way to handle this condition.

Papulopustular Rosacea & Diet

Making changes to your diet can help reduce inflammation and prevent flare-ups. Focus on foods that are high in healthy fats like nuts (walnuts, almonds), fish (salmon, sardines), seeds and avocados. You can also include food that helps to balance your gut microbiome. Fibre-rich food (vegetables and whole grains) and fermented foods can help (think miso, kimchi and sauerkraut).

SkinBase IPL

SkinBase IPL targets vessels deep within the skin to ease symptoms of rosacea.  The light energy passes through the skin, targeting red blood cells. The vessel walls absorb the light.  The heat energy damages the vessel triggering the body’s natural repair mechanisms.  By removing visible blood vessels, the amount of redness in the skin will reduce. The results are a fresher & more even skin tone. Check out the Rosacea skin concerns hub to find out more about IPL for Rosacea. You can also find your nearest SkinBase Therapist.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
