Often people think that the best way to cure it is to
wait and it will vanish on it's own with time. However, it may not be
correct. Treatment at correct time can prevent the situation from
aggravating and put a check on the problem.
Tetracycline
antibiotics such as doxycycline and minocycline are often prescribed to
reduce inflammation. Sometimes, oral antibiotics such as metronidazole
or cotrimoxasole are also prescribed for resistant cases.
Some topical creams and gels like metronidazole can be used for
mild cases and when combined with antibiotics, can cure severe cases.
Creams containing azelaic acid can also be helpful. If these do not
prove to be effective, Isotretinoin is always a good and an effective
option. But the problem is that it might not suit everybody since it has
its own side-effects.
Clonidine is often prescribed in the case
of rosacea to minimize flushing. Its side-effects include
gastrointestinal symptoms, low blood pressure, dry eyes, blurred vision
and low heart rate. Anti-inflammatory agents can be used to reduce the
redness of the affected skin.
Apart from all these certain laser
therapies like vascular laser and surgeries can also improve the
situation.
