Doctors' responses
I understand your concern because rosacea skin is very sensitive and even though besan helps in reducing acne it is drying and mildly abrasive in nature so daily use can easily trigger flushing burning and redness in rosacea especially when your skin barrier is already reactive instead of stopping it completely you can reduce the frequency to once in 7 to 10 days and never use it alone always mix it with soothing ingredients and do not rub or scrub while applying wash it off gently with normal water and avoid hot water completely
For internal support Ayurveda focuses on calming heat and inflammation and improving digestion
Neem capsule twice daily after food with normal water
Mahamanjistadi aristha 20 ml twice daily after meals mixed with equal water
Gandhaka rasayan one tablet twice daily after food
These medicines help in reducing skin inflammation redness and recurrent acne from within and support blood purification and skin healing
Diet plays a big role avoid very spicy oily fried food excess chillies pickles fermented foods tomato vinegar sour curd alcohol tea coffee and chocolates include cooling freshly cooked meals rice moong dal soft vegetables bottle gourd ridge gourd pumpkin cucumber cooked leafy greens and fruits like pomegranate apple and papaya taken around midday
Lifestyle care is very important avoid direct sun heat steam facials scrubs chemical peels and frequent product changes use only gentle cleanser lukewarm or normal water keep skin moisturised with a light non greasy cream manage stress sleep on time and avoid late nights
Avoid daily besan masks harsh home remedies lemon tomato baking soda essential oils multani mitti and frequent face packs because these worsen rosacea even if acne seems better
With this approach redness flares reduce first then acne settles slowly consistency is important and if symptoms are severe or worsening in person consultation is always better for dose adjustment and safety
