My dermatologist pceerribsd antibiotics and told me to come back for a follow up in a month. When I came back and told her I hadn't seen any improvement, she said the antibiotics were for my regular acne, and there is no cure for rosacea. I was pretty upset, because I had also heard that you could get rid of it with antibiotics.The redness is not an infection, it's blood vessels that have risen to the surface of the skin and stayed there, rather than with most people where they get red faced when they are hot or cold, and then it goes back to normal.According to my dermatologist, you can only do things to keep it from getting worse, first and foremost keeping your skin protected from the sun by using a good sun block on your face. She gave me a pamphelet that says to avoid extreme hot and cold temperatures, caffiene, alcohol, spicy foods and sun exposure. She said never to rub when you are washing or drying your face. I use that mineral make up, which she said was fine. She said that I can have a laser treatment to reduce the redness, but it is only about 25% effective (will only reduce the redness by about 25%). Other than that, there's nothing you can do. She did say, however, that you eventually grow out of it . Her exact word were you don't see people in their 70s with this . I'm not sure I believe her, but she's the doctor.
