While there is no cure for rosacea, a lack of treatment may result in extra flare-ups, redness and pustules. If the symptoms of rosacea are left untreated for several years, you may develop a condition known as rhinophyma. Rhinophyma causes oil glands to enlarge and tissue to build up your nose and can ultimately lead to eye problems and red bumps. While it can affect men and women, the condition is far more common among men. The good news is that there are a number of treatment options for rosacea which can help to keep symptoms under control. Common treatment options include gels that tighten blood vessels in the skin and antibiotics that kill skin bacteria.
