In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Rosacea treatment is tailored to the specific subtype and severity of the condition. Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea characterized by flushing and visible vessels may benefit from topical brimonidine, laser therapy, or intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments. Papulopustular rosacea with inflammatory bumps is commonly treated with topical ivermectin, azelaic acid, or oral antibiotics such as low-dose doxycycline. Patients are counseled to identify and avoid personal triggers including sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, and extreme temperatures. A gentle skincare routine with fragrance-free products and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is considered foundational to rosacea management. Ocular rosacea affecting the eyes may require co-management with an ophthalmologist.
