- Changes in temperature and cold weather
- Emotional stress
- Intense physical exercise
- Menopause
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Spicy food
- Skin products
General measures
- It is important for the patient to understand the chronic and relapsing nature of the disorder
- Where possible, triggers should be avoided
- A gentle skin care regimen helps maintain hydration and the barrier function of the skin
- Sun protection, including avoidance and a daily sun-cream with SPF 30 or greater
- Cover-up powders can help alongside more active treatment
- Creams and gels containing metronidazole, azelaic acid, ivermectin, and brimonidine have a strong evidence base and are approved for rosacea by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They tend to be used in mild to moderate rosacea.
- Antibiotic tablets including oxytetracycline, doxycycline and erythromycin may be recommended for their anti-inflammatory effect
- In severe or persistent cases of papulopustular and early phymatous rosacea, oral isotretinoin therapy may be required
- Where eye symptoms are due to ocular rosacea, this can be treated with gentle lid-hygiene and lubricating eye drops
Physical modalities
Visible red blood vessels can be treated using vascular lasers. Light energy is absorbed by hemoglobin and water in these vessels, this leading to vessel heating and coagulation. The most frequently used types of laser are the PDL (pulsed dye laser) and Nd:YAG
A recent study has shown excellent outcomes following a course of Nd:YAG laser for visible vessles associated with rosacea. Severe phymatous disease with deformity responds best to surgery or CO2 laser resurfacing.
