There is no known cure for rosacea however treatments are available to help control the symptoms. Most treatments require to be used for a long period of time, however some can be stopped for short periods if your symptoms improve. Creams and gels are the most commonly used treatments. Tablets and capsules, such as long term antibiotics, can also be used.
Topical creams such as Mirvaso can be used safely to reduce the spots and redness however more severe cases might require oral antibiotics. PrivateDoc would recommend that you see your own GP if you require any oral antibiotic therapy as these are not suitable for online prescribing.
There are other options such as laser and intense pulse light treatment which your GP can advise you on.
