No, but it can be treated. Rosacea is a condition that lasts for a long period of time. Rosacea may get worse over time if it is not treated. Treatment is aimed at controlling the symptoms and making your skin look better. The type of medicine your doctor recommends will depend on how your skin looks.
Treatment generally works best at improving the pimples and bumps of rosacea.
The redness of the skin is harder to treat. Medicines used to treat rosacea include antibiotics, which can be applied to the skin or taken as pills. It usually takes up to 2 months of treatment before the skin looks better. As your skin improves, the amount of oral antibiotic can often be cut down or stopped. Treatment with the gel may continue.
