Suggest Treatment For Rosacea With Red And Itchy Eyelids

I have recently had blepharitis & a recurrence of rosacea symptoms. My rosacea tends to affect my eyes more than facial skin, altho there is some cheek redness at times. My eyelids have become red & they can be itchy & sometimes burning & I have red streaks underneath my eyes which can be painful. The eyelids are swollen & puffy to a varying degree at various times, but this makes my eyes feel very tired. I have had this for about 3 weeks & it waxes & wanes. I have had very mild, transient symptoms like this in the past, but they have never persisted for long, as this time. Would this be rosacea or perhaps a dermatitis or what? How could it be treated? Thanks for your input.

Hi,

You are right. It may be rosacea. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

After a thorough examination and investigation, your doctor might prescribe Tetracycline or Doxycycline in proper doses for a long time. And the local application of Metronidazole gel or Clindamycin gel may be considered. Avoid sun exposure and do not worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel,
