Rosacea Cures And Avoidance

Common Rosacea Cures

Rosacea cures can be the following: antibiotics, accutine, avoidance and herbal alternative rosacea cures.

Rosacea Cures: Avoidance

The initial therapeutic step is avoidance of exacerbating factors for rosacea. Physicians should advise their patients to carefully monitor their exposure to the sun and to regularly use sunscreen products. One study suggests that patients with rosacea may better tolerate sunscreens containing simethicone or cyclomethicone. Irritating skin care products and heavy cosmetics should be avoided.

Topical corticosteroids must be avoided on the face. The use of fluorinated topical steroids on the face frequently produces a rosacea-like syndrome, and even low-potency, nonfluorinated steroids may worsen pre-existing rosacea and delay the resolution of steroid-induced flare-ups by months.

Rosacea Cures: Antibiotics

Oral antibiotics, such as tetracycline, doxycycline (Vibramycin), and metronidazole (Flagyl) effectively treat papulopustular rosacea. Topical metronidazole (cream or gel) administered twice daily is as effective as oral tetracycline and is considered the agent of choice for pustular and papular rosacea.

However, some patients experience burning and stinging with the use of topical metronidazole. Some studies suggest that topical metronidazole also reduces erythema and telangiectasis in some patients. Topical clindamycin (Cleocin) is an effective alternative in patients who are pregnant. The use of oral tetracycline or metronidazole is undesirable during. The antibiotic gel or cream should be applied across the entire face, rather than "spot treating" the lesions.

Rosacea is a chronic, relapsing disorder, and long-term treatment is generally required. Control of symptoms can be successfully maintained by long-term use of metronidazole gel.

Rosacea Cures: Accutine

In recalcitrant cases where antibiotics have failed or were partially successful, oral isotretinoin (Accutane) or topical tretinoin (Retin-A) therapy may be effective. Retinoid treatment (especially in the topical form) may help recalcitrant papular and pustular forms of rosacea but may worsen erythema and telangiectasis. Some authorities question the role of retinoids in rosacea treatment.

Other rosacea cures include: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra), methotrexate, dapsone, primaquine, chloroquine (Aralen), and oral prednisone; however, no studies have evaluated the comparative efficacy or optimal dosing regimens of these agents.
