How To Treat Facial Redness Completely?

I have been suffering seborrheic dermatitis for 2 years. At first I thought it was rosacea. I have started taking caprylic acid after I found out it was problem in my gut. My dandruff is clear now but facial redness in my right cheek is still stubborn and it can t be treated with caprylic acid and now I started taking Thorne research 10-undecenoic acid. I found a little bit improvement but redness is still there. May I know what I should do to treat stubborn redness completely?

Hello,

The erythema can be treated by 1% oxymetazoline hydrochloride is to be applied once daily at the affected site. The pulsed-dye laser and, more recently, other non-ablative laser and light therapies have been used to treat erythema and telangiectasias. You may discuss about the lazer therapy with your dermatologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
