Rosacea

Treatment for rosacea is usually focused on controlling inflammation and frequency of flareups associated with the condition. Often, a combination of therapies is useful in the treatment of rosacea. Your dermatologist may be able to provide prescription topical treatments that will reduce redness and inflammation. Oral antibiotics like doxycycline may also be prescribed in order to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria that cause rosacea flare-ups.

If those treatments do not work, a prescription retinol such as Accutane has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms and frequency of rosacea. Modern laser therapies are another treatment option that could bring you relief. The first step is to have the condition diagnosed by our board-certified dermatologist.
