Roseacea is an inflammatory disorder which is aggrevated by sun exposure. You must avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Avoid hot and spicy food as it increased flushing. Continue using sunscreen. Topical treatment options include metronidazole, ivermectin and azelic acid.Brimonidine is a newer topical therapy with promising results in reducing erythema. Oral treatment options include doxycycline and isotretinoin. Discuss the above mentioned therapy with your dermatologist.Regards
