YOUR most successful treatment for Rosacea?

Have you tried and found relief from a certain topical treatment, (i.e. Zenmed, Prosacea, Calmin, Clinique Red Solutions?) if so which one most suits you?


Are you taking prescription meds (doxycycline) or a herbal/alternative remedy?


Or have you gone down the Laser road yet?


Please, please share your successes and failures.


Thanks xYOUR most successful treatment for Rosacea?
Rosacea (acne rosacea) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by facial flushing, telangiectasias, erythema, papules, pustules, and in severe cases, rhinophyma. Diagnosis is based on characteristic appearance. Treatment depends on severity and includes topical metronidazole, topical and oral antibiotics, rarely isotretinoin, and, for severe rhinophyma, surgery.


Consult your doctor.YOUR most successful treatment for Rosacea?
Some doctors prescribe a topical antibiotic, such as metronidazole, which is applied directly to the affected skin.


I've had Rosex gel.





For people with more severe cases, doctors often prescribe an oral antibiotic.


Tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, and doxycycline are the most common antibiotics used.





The papules and pustules may respond quickly to treatment, but the redness and flushing are less likely to improve.





Best to avoid hot or spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine, exposure to the sun, rain or wind, and stress.





Not too sure about lasering though-sounds a bit severe!
Lay of spicy foods.
