Avoid irritating cosmetics and facial products. Use hair sprays properly. Keep a diary of flushing episodes and note associated foods, products, activities, medications or other triggering factors. Many people with rosacea are unfamiliar with it and do not recognize it in its early stages. Identifying the disease is the first step to controlling it.
Dermatologists often recommend a combination of treatments tailored to the individual patient.
Together, these treatments can stop the progress of rosacea and sometimes reverse it. Gels and creams may be prescribed by a dermatologist. A slight improvement can be seen in the first three to four weeks of use. Greater improvement is usually noticed in two months. Oral antibiotics tend to produce faster results than topical medications.
