Because the signs and symptoms of rosacea vary from one person to another, your dermatologist will tailor your treatment to your particular needs.
To treat the bumps, pimples, and redness of rosacea, your dermatologist may prescribe various oral as well as topical medications (creams and gels). Dermatologists usually prescribe oral antibiotics and topical therapy initially, to bring the condition under immediate control, followed by long-term use of the topical therapy alone.
Topical medications with azelaic acid have been shown to bring relief from both the redness and the bumps and pimples associated with mild to moderate rosacea.
