Rosacea is often mistaken to be a severe case of acne or seborhoeic dermatitis. It usually affects Caucasians but can affect other ethnicities as well. It affects both sexes but women are more commonly found with the condition. A dermatologist is the best person to diagnose and prescribe any treatment for this skin condition.
The most important and basic step for rosacea treatment is to wash your face regularly with a gentle skin cleanser. You should avoid soaps and cleansers that can further irritate your skin. Protection from the sun is also important and the use of a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 is recommended. Some dermatologist will even advise to take oral tetracycline antibiotics and topic antibiotics to relieve the inflammation. Treatment will usually take a long time but some people will go into a permanent remission.
