Phymatous rosacea is a type of rosacea that causes skin thickening and a bumpy texture that affects the nose. There are many products available that can help manage the symptoms of rosacea, including phymatous rosacea. Some of the best products for rosacea are formulated for sensitive skin and are fragrance-free. These products often contain natural ingredients that can help soothe and calm the skin, such as aloe vera, green tea, licorice root extract, ginger extract, bisabolol, chamomile, oatmeal, mandelic acid, centella asiastica, allantoin, fern extract, arnica, and ambophenol.
In addition to natural ingredients, some products for rosacea contain synthetic ingredients that have been shown to be effective in clinical studies. For example, some clinical studies have used a sensitive skin synthetic detergent bar, a nonalkaline cleanser and moisturizer, and polyhydroxy acid.
Prescription medications can also be helpful in managing the symptoms of rosacea. Topical anti-inflammatory creams can help to reduce inflammation, redness, and the development of new pimples. Products with azelaic acid, sulfur, or topical calcineurin inhibitors like pimecrolimus cream are often recommended by dermatologists. Azelaic acid is considered the "gold standard" for rosacea and has mild antimicrobial properties to control the growth of certain bacteria on the skin.
It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for managing rosacea, including phymatous rosacea.
