Rosacea Treatments

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Effective treatments focus on reducing symptoms and managing triggers. Topical medications like metronidazole, azelaic acid, or ivermectin help reduce inflammation and redness. Oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline, may be prescribed for moderate to severe cases, offering anti-inflammatory benefits. For more persistent symptoms, laser therapy or intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments can reduce visible blood vessels and redness. Lifestyle modifications, like avoiding triggers (spicy foods, alcohol, extreme temperatures), using gentle skincare products, and applying daily sunscreen, play a critical role in long-term management. Consulting a dermatologist ensures a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.
