Brief Answer:

Thanks for consulting hcm.
First rosecea is not a infectious conditions. So taking antibiotics will not help you.
Rosecea a skin abnormal condition mostly affect fair and sensitive skin people. It occur in female after menopause due to horomonal changes.
So no proven medication is available.
In ayurveda (indian traditional medicine) use to treat rosecea. Ayurveda pathology says if any abnormality inside the body and mind that will reflect in skin- whether any toxin or systemic involved abnormality.
If it is genetically prone. No cure is there.
We should rule out the cause for the skin condition.

Dr. S.,
I work in a High School ,with special needs children , for which "I love " .
There are NO family members with Rosacea in my family .
I try and eat VERY healthy ,(natural foods) I take the following supplements : probiotics , L-lysine ,zinc for acne ,biotin, and I also take Betaine HCL (I take them at least 3 hours AFTER the antibiotic ,which I take on an empty stomach .)
Medicines I take are :
Minocycline 50mg. / day
NO skin biopsy`s from my face have been done ... It was never suggested or an option ...
Finacea -applied to face in the A.M.
Metrogel-applied to face in the P.M.
I recently started taking (about 4 months ago):
Estra 0.5/Norteth 0.1mg TB low str which has helped my menopausal symptoms ,such as anxiety,hot flashes,night sweats as well as improve my mood .
Years ago I was on birth control pills ,which also worked to clear my skin issues which I had at that time .(Adolescence acne ?)
*** Should I STOP taking the antibiotics ? ***

Brief Answer:
explaind you in detail
Detailed Answer:
Hai,
Thanks for your reply.
I didn't find any antibiotics influencing on rosacea. Because rosacea is not caused by any bacterial infection.As rosacea followed by secondary infection needs antibiotics.
Rosacea along with acne or skin infection need ointment like metrogyl and minocycline. But if it is only rosacea not need for the above medication.
As from your history I found as you had birth control pills in past and currently on some steroid pills- this may lead to some hormonal disturbances.
Prolonged usage of Birth control pills are horomone tablet that will lead to disturb the normal functioning of your body endocrine function.
You need to regularize your lifestyle, diet and practicing meditation and yoga will keep you healthy.
So I advise to practice yoga to overcome your menopausal syndrome. Yoga is the one which regulates our normal functioning of physical and mental health.
Healthy diet includes fruits and vegetables and steamed food will keep you good toned skin .avoid junk, fired, baked foods.
In XXXXXXX we advise certain internal medication and external application for rosacea. We can stop spreading to large area in face. But we didn’t find curing or solving it.
Follow the below advise to avoid spreading:
apply aloe Vera raw gel from the plant in your face.
apply olive oil in your face daily before bath. leave it for one hour and take bath.
take more water with more fruits.
lifestyle and diet regulation should be followed strictlyas advised above.
Thank you
