Medications

Unfortunately, there's no known cure for rosacea, but it can be managed successfully with a combination of trigger avoidance, good skin care practices, and medical treatments.

The “best“ prescription cream for rosacea would be effective in reducing symptoms, causing minimal side effects and result in a long-lasting or permanent improvement in symptoms. Unfortunately, no cream meets all these criteria and the best cream for any individual will vary depending on a combination of factors including clinical response and how well the medication is tolerated.

To calm a rosacea flare-up, it's important to avoid triggers and use a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and skin care strategies. Using cool compresses and gentle, fragrance-free moisturisers and over-the-counter rosacea treatments containing vitamin B3 can soothe itchy, irritated skin.

One main symptom of rosacea is rosy cheeks, which can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Treatment options for rosacea include topical and oral medications, lifestyle changes, and skincare strategies. Identifying and avoiding triggers, using gentle skincare products, and protecting skin from the sun can also help. Intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser treatments are also effective in reducing redness associated with rosacea.
