How do treat rosacea?

I find the only thing that works for me is metrogel . I only use it when my face is really bad ,also i dont use soap on my face.The ony moisuriser i can use is number 7 from boots. The sun is really bad for rosacea so cover up.Hope it improves.

I have recently been to see a dermatologist. It was a free half hour consultation. He confirmed it was Rosacea and as he uses laser treatment I thought he would advise this as a course of treatment.

i bought cetaphil face cleanser and moisturiser which is very good but I asked the dermatologist had he heard of anything else.he did not try to sell it to me but I bought the products.rosacure gel face cleanser then synchro rose fast trpv1 and synchro rose intensive spf30 moisturiser from him.

it has helped a lot but you have to use it twice a day.

also whether a male or female you can buy bare minerals powder or foundation which is also used for cancer sufferers as there is nothing nasty in it. It gives you full cover and certainly gives you the confidence you lose when a flare up comes. 

Also eat foods high in lysine or take a supplement from the health food shop. You can eat any amount of foods containing lysine but I was only advised to take the suppliment of 1000mg per day this apparently makes the amino acid you lack start to produce more.

I do not think that you should be using e45 as it will block your pores and not help at all.

good luck

I'm using Minocycline  antibiotics. I use doublebase moisturising cream every day. I also use Rosex cream or gel when I have flare-ups. You should also use sunscreen every day even in winter as the sun can cause flare-ups. It takes a lot longer than 2 weeks for the treatment to work and sometimes you have to keep trying other treatments until you find the one that works for you. My skin is doing ok at the moment although I still have some redness if I get too hot or cold.

Minocycline helped keep the redness from my eyes, but now I'm just using the metrogenole gel, The derm told me getting it right on that cheekbone below the eye, and it can effect the eyes measureably.  I was careful not to have any dairy nearly three hours before or after taking the minocycline, and I suspect tetracycline is the same.  It will not work otherwise.  Dairy blocks it.
