How to treat rosacea

Rosacea, also known as rosacea, is treated with topical medication, oral medication, physical therapy and surgery depending on the typology. The specific analysis is as follows: 1. Topical drug treatment: (1) Antibiotics: fusidic acid, 1% clindamycin or 2% erythromycin can be used to treat papulopustular lesions. Metronidazole is effective for moderate to severe erythema and inflammatory lesions. (2) Azelaic acid: can improve rosacea inflammatory lesions, a small number of patients with itching, burning and stinging sensation after use, but usually in about a week can be self-recovery. (3) Calcium-modulated phosphatase inhibitor: it has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, and is suitable for patients with obvious erythema and itching symptoms. (4) Others: α-adrenoceptor agonists can reduce the persistent erythema in the middle of the face, but they are ineffective on the dilated capillaries and inflammatory skin lesions. 2. Oral drug treatment: (1) Antibiotics: doxycycline or minocycline are commonly used, and metronidazole or tinidazole can be used in allergic patients, which is the first-line treatment for papulopustular rosacea. (2) Isotretinoin: It can be used as the preferred systemic treatment for patients with hypertrophic hyperplastic rhinophyma as well as a second-line option for patients with papulopustular rosacea when other treatments are ineffective. (3) In addition to the above drugs, anti-anxiety drugs and hydroxychloroquine can also be used. 3. Physical therapy: such as intense pulsed light, laser therapy, etc., but for skin barrier damage, flushing obvious skin need to be careful to choose photoelectric treatment. 4. Surgery: Surgery can be used for those who are not able to take medication for nasal and ocular types of rosacea. If rosacea occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and choose the best treatment program under the guidance of a physician.
