Treatments for rosacea range in effectiveness from person to person. Anti-inflammatory have proven useful in treatment as have antibiotic creams to the affected areas. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the broken blood vessels.
Acne rosacea is often accompanied by bumps, pimples and skin blemishes but there aren’t blackheads associated with this condition. Treatment works best on the pimples and bumps. The redness is much harder to treat. Without treatment the symptoms recur more often, become permanent and can cause swelling of the nose and growth of excess tissue.
After treatment has begun it can take 2 months for your skin to look better. As the skin begins to improve the sufferer can usually cut down or eliminate the antibiotics. It is difficult to anticipate how long treatment is necessary since the condition differs from person to person. (3)
Another treatment for acne rosacea is to protect the skin from overexposure to the sun. The sufferer should wear sunscreen since sunburn can trigger an outbreak extremely quickly. Treatment for acne vulgaris can irritate acne rosacea and cause the symptoms to worsen significantly.
