Treatment includes:
- Appropriate care of the skin, sun avoidance and appropriate emollient application
- Topical applications including metronidazole, azelaic acid and ivermectin
- Systemic antibiotics, most often in the tetracycline class
- Low dose oral isotretinoin (this is the medication also used for acne)
- Vascular laser for background redness, broken blood vessels and flushing
Unfortunately, rosacea is often a chronic skin problem.
