It affects people with every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-why-you-should-care-about-skincare\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3494\">skin type<\/a> or tone, though it\u2019s often overlooked on people with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-busting-black-skin-care-from-a-dermatology-prescriber\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1654\">darker skin tones<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>There are four different types of rosacea:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Papulopustular Rosacea<\/strong>: Often misdiagnosed as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/the-skin-and-me-guide-to-acne\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"467\">acne<\/a> due to the appearance of whiteheads (pustules) and swollen red bumps (papules), and facial redness. It can appear on the cheeks, forehead, chin and even the neck, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/bodycare-strawberry-legs-stretch-marks-and-more\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3338\">chest<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-how-to-look-after-your-hair-and-scalp\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3453\">scalp<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea<\/strong>: Persistent facial redness, flushing, and dilated blood vessels and capillaries. This type of rosacea tends to flare up and disappear over time.<\/li><li><strong>Ocular Rosacea<\/strong>: This type makes your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-can-you-get-rid-of-dark-circles-under-your-eyes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4504\">eyes<\/a> and eyelids look irritated and bloodshot. It\u2019s often characterised by a burning sensation in your eyes, making them dry and sensitive. In some cases, cysts can appear on your eyelids.<\/li><li><strong>Phymatous Rosacea<\/strong>: This type thickens and scars skin, resulting in a swollen, bumpy and discoloured appearance. It\u2019s a rare type that usually affects the nose. This type also affects men more than women, and is often referred to as \u2018rhinophyma\u2019 or \u2018bulbous nose\u2019.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there a cure for rosacea?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t a cure for rosacea, but there are ways to manage the symptoms. \u201cTreating rosacea can be challenging as often the skin is more sensitive,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dr Ben Esdaile<\/a>, Consultant Dermatologist tells us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be treated. So, from laser therapy to electrolysis, to prescription and over-the-counter topicals, let\u2019s break down the different methods you\u2019ll come across in your search for rosacea treatments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>LASER THERAPY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/tweakments-trends-and-future-skincare-helen-wyre-of-no-23-skin-clinic\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2294\">laser treatment<\/a> to manage your erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, which uses a laser to target the blood vessels, helping to minimise redness and flushing on the skin. Treatment sessions usually last 20-30 minutes, and you may need multiple sessions to see visible results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>ELECTROLYSIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Electrolysis uses an electric current to destroy the blood vessels in the affected area, thus reducing redness in erythematotelangiectatic rosacea. It\u2019s an effective, but more invasive treatment, and it might take longer for your skin to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/your-skin-barrier-protection-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2634\">recover<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>PRESCRIPTION TREATMENTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Active ingredients such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-metronidazole\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1283\">metronidazole<\/a> (an antibiotic), ivermectin (an antiparasitic), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-azelaic-acid\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1236\">azelaic acid<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-niacinamide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3754\">niacinamide<\/a> (anti-inflammatories), are commonly prescribed to help manage the symptoms of rosacea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRosacea is a really complex condition.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dr Malvina Cunningham<\/a>, Consultant Dermatologist explains. \u201cSkincare ingredients that are really helpful for rosacea are azelaic acid\u2026 metronidazole and ivermectin which are available on prescription only.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metronidazole and ivermectin help to minimise inflammation and sensitivity, and by extension, the papules and pustules that form as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azelaic acid and niacinamide are milder ingredients, but still effective in calming any inflammation, and helping minimise the spots from papulopustular rosacea. These two are also available over-the-counter (without a prescription), but usually in weaker concentrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-spironolactone\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3319\">Oral antibiotics<\/a> may also be prescribed by your GP for a certain period of time \u2013 check in with them if you have any questions or concerns about your medication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>ROSACEA TIPS AND TRICKS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use gentle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\">non-stripping cleansers and soothing moisturisers<\/a> \u2013 particularly any that contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-how-to-relieve-dry-flaky-skin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4419\">ceramides<\/a>, as these help to rebuild your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/your-skin-barrier-protection-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2634\">skin barrier<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Always wear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/our-dermatologist-approved-spfs-for-everyday-wear\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"455\">sunscreen<\/a>, ideally with an SPF 30 or higher.
