Michelle P,
Doctors often prescribe topical antibiotics to treat rosacea, more for their anti-inflammatory properties than to kill bacteria. A common topical antibiotic prescribed is metronidazole (Metrocream, Metrogel, Noritate). Another prescription medication is azelaic acid (Azelex, Finacea), which reduces redness and inflammation. Oral antibiotics also are prescribed because they tend to work faster than topical ones. In many cases, dermatologists first prescribe both oral and topical antibiotics to lessen signs and symptoms, followed by long-term use of a topical antibiotic alone to maintain remission. Some of the most common prescription oral antibiotics include tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline and erythromycin. One of the most important things you can do if you have rosacea is to minimize your exposure to anything that causes a flare-up. Because everyone is different, find out what factors affect you so that you can avoid them. Keeping a running list of your own flare-up triggers might help you identify the things that are a problem for you. Wear sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher to protect your face from the sun. Protect your face in the winter with a scarf or ski mask. Avoid irritating your facial skin by rubbing or touching it too much. Avoid facial products that contain alcohol or other skin irritants. When using moisturizer with a topical medication, apply the moisturizer after the medication has dried. Use products that are labeled noncomedogenic. These won't clog your oil and sweat gland openings (pores) as much. Avoid overheating. If you wear makeup, consider using green- or yellow-tinted pre-foundation creams and powders, because they're designed to counter skin redness. I realize your age but if this refers to you, avoid alcohol.
ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.
