Brief Answer:
Capsule doxycycline & metronidazole gel

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
In Rosacea I recommend my patients to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and apply metronidazole gel on the red areas as well as bumps twice daily for 2-3 months.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
Besides this stay away from sunlight, avoid hot fluids like tea and coffee and avoid application of any chemicals on the face.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
