any cures known for rosacea?

Answer 1

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) by a properly qualified therapist (www.mlduk.org in the UK or www.vodderschool.com in the States - for a list of therapists) is a very useful therapy for rosacea (with the bonus of it being pleasant to receive).

You will need a number of sessions, close together to see a difference. It is not an actual cure though - I can't imagine you will find one.

No, I dont want to sound as if there is no hope - go to an excellent naturopath practising clinical nutrition. You may get help there.
best of luck.

There is no known cure for rosacea but it can be treated and controlled. There are several treatment options and the option that is right for any person should only be determined in consultation with a dermatologist.

Some dermatologists treat with a topical antiobiotic. Metronidazole is a commonly prescribed topical mediation. For more severe cases of rosacea, doctors will prescribe an oral antibiotic such as tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, and doxycycline. For the most part, the papules (pink bumps) and the pupules (puss filled bumps) will respond to this type of treatment. However, the redness associated with rosacea will not usually improve using topical or internal medications.

In an effort to reduce the redness of the skin, some doctors will administer laser therapy. To reduce the bulbousness common to rhinophyma, doctors have used laser surgery.

Due to the change in appearance that a rosacea patient suffers, depression is not uncommon. Patients should seek treatment both for their skin condition as well as seek counseling to cope with the affects of rosacea on their appearance.

You need to go to your GP and ask for some tablets. It also depends whether you want to treat the first stages of Rosacea (which starts with little dilated capillaries and redness in a butterfly shape around the nose and cheeks usually) or Acne Rosacea which is more nasty (with pustules- white head spots)

Answer 8

Anything you use will not cure it. Though do leave off the hot spicy foods, cut back on the beer and drink lots of water. And stay cool mentally.

Don't be tempted to spend hard earned cash on trying to get rid of it. It may just disappear over time. However, you can try and disguise it with coverup cream from the cosmetics counter if it's bothering you. If not just try and ignore it.


No doubt you can see that I suffer with the same afflication and I never let it get me down. I just ignore it it's other people who have the problem with my rosacea.

Answer 9

There is no known cure 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.

Answer 10

Treating rosacea varies from patient to patient depending on severity and subtypes. Dermatologists are recommended to take a subtype-directed approach to treating rosacea patients.

Trigger avoidance can help reduce the onset of rosacea but alone will not normally cause remission for all but mild cases. The National Rosacea Society recommends that a diary be kept to help identify and reduce triggers.

It is important to have a gentle skin cleansing regimen using non-irritating cleansers. Protection from the sun is important and daily use of a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 containing a physical blocker such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is advised.

Oral tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline) and topical antibiotics such as metronidazole are usually the first line of defence prescribed by doctors to relieve papules, pustules, inflammation and some redness. Oral antibiotics may also help to relieve symptoms of ocular rosacea. If papules and pustules persist, then sometimes isotretinoin can be prescribed. Isotretinoin has many side effects and is normally used to treat severe acne but in low dosages is proven to be effective against papulopustular and phymatous rosacea.

The treatment of flushing and blushing has been attempted by means of the centrally-acting α-2 agonist clonidine, but there is no evidence whatsoever that this is of any benefit. The same is true of the beta-blockers nadolol and propanolol. If flushing occurs with red wine consumption, then complete avoidance helps. There is no evidence at all that antihistamines are of any benefit in rosacea.

People who develop infections of the eyelids must practice frequent eyelid hygiene. Daily scrubbing the eyelids gently with diluted baby shampoo or an over-the-counter eyelid cleaner and applying warm (but not hot) compresses several times a day is recommended.

Dermatological vascular laser (single wavelength) or Intense Pulsed Light (broad spectrum) machines offer one of the best treatments for rosacea, in particular the erythema (redness) of the skin. They use light to penetrate the epidermis to target the capillaries in the dermis layer of the skin. The light is absorbed by oxy-hemoglobin which heat up causing the capillary walls to heat up to 70ºC, damaging them, causing them to be absorbed by the body's natural defense mechanism.

CO2 lasers can be used to remove excess tissue caused by phymatous rosacea. CO2 lasers emit a wavelength that is absorbed directly by the skin. The laser beam can be focused into a thin beam and used as a scalpel or defocused and used to vaporise tissue.
