Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, topical Metronidazole, Sulfacetamide/sulfur, and Azelaic Acid are generally effective for patients with mild rosacea. For moderate papulopustular rosacea, combination therapy with oral tetracyclines and topical agents is the first-line choice.
So continue above treatment still have queries please feel free to ask.
Take care.
