Treatments for Rosacea
Rosacea cannot be cured. It can be managed. The goal of treatment
is to reduce the symptoms. How that is done depends on the subtype of rosacea a person
has and how bad the symptoms are. The doctor may advise more than one treatment and
lifestyle change. Getting treatment early may help keep blood vessels from getting
larger. It may also prevent the nose from getting bigger. Many over the counter
treatments can make rosacea worse.
Rosacea treatment includes:
Lifestyle changes
Medications
Surgery
