Hello,
As per my clinical experience, depending upon the stage of Rosacea, there are various options available for curing it.
@ Mild to moderate cases, do respond best to
- Oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline or Minocycline
- Topical agents such as Oxymetazoline hydrochloride or Azelaic acid
@ Severe or non-respondent cases do require advanced laser therapy as well
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
