Treatment is aimed at controlling the symptoms and making your skin look better. How is rosacea treated The type of medicine your doctor recommends depends on how your skin looks and your choice of medicine.
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 ro sacea include antibiotics, which can be applied to the skin or taken as pills. Your doctor may recommend an oral antibiotic to start with and follow that with an anitbiotic gel called metronidazole that you apply to your skin.

As your skin improves, the amount of oral anitbiotic can often be cut down or stopped and treatment with the gel may continue.
