Treatment of rosacea
The first-line of treatment of rosacea is the administration of antibiotics that belong to the group of tetracycline, doxycycline and metronidazole as tablets that need to be taken orally. Although rosacea cannot be cured, these are helpful in relieving almost all signs and symptoms associated with rosacea. At times, application of medicated ointments that contain these antibiotics are also advised over the affected areas. Other types of medications may be advised if symptoms are not relieved with the antibiotics. Laser therapy and surgical corrections may be required in advanced cases that would have caused significant changes.1,2,3
