cure for rosacea???

Question

How do I get rid of my rosacea???

Answer 1

There is no cure at this time. Go see a doctor and they can give you prescriptions for creams that will help. You can also go to a spa and get facials which help. The Red Door Spa has a facial just for people with rosacea.

Answer 3

I was diagnosed last year with rosacea and I was prescribed tetracycline and noritate cream. It didn’t really do much for me. This past May I ran into someone I knew with rosacea and she looked symptom free. I asked her about it and she said by chance she had a really bad sinus infection and her doctor gave her azithromycin or (Z-Pack) for it. (its the antibiotic you only take for 5 days instead of 14 days) She said it totally cleared up her rocacea so she got an extended prescription for it and she has been symptom free for 4 years. She said initially every few months she would notice a little flair up and take another Z-pack for about 8 months and then it was totally gone.

Of course I wanted to try it and I did this past June. I also have had no rosacea symptoms. It took about 10 days and my rosacea was gone!!!!!! I am so excited. It's like a cure. (Only a rosacea sufferer can understand my enthusiasm).

My rosacea was not too severe since I had only had it for about a year but I had small bumps and rough feeling skin along with very red streaks especially on my right cheek. I have noticed after 6 weeks of no symptoms that my cheeks are starting to look a little pink again so I ‘m taking another dose of azithromycin as of yesterday. I hope this information can be passed along and possibly help others.

Keep in mind that z-pack is not a known remedy for rosacea so your doctor might be sceptical about it, but it REALLY REALLY worked for me.

Answer 4

You can't get rid of rosacea, but you can control it. Go to a dermatologist. It may take several tries to find the med that works for you. I am using a sulfur based wash and Finacea cream and it has totally stopped the breakouts.

Answer 5

I have had rosecea for about 5 years and have been seeing a dermatologist for it. He would have given me tetracycline, but after one capsule I broke out in blotches (allergic to it). He then prescribed metrocream. Cleared it up in two weeks. It has not flared up that badly since, but if I get overheated or stressed my face turns red temporarily, but I do not get the rashy appearance. It is my understanding there is no cure at this time. My doctor has me apply a thin smear of metrocream on my face at bedtime to prevent an outbreak. I think it also comes in lotion form. It may help you. Good luck.

You need to see a dermatologist. They can prescribe meds for it.
