How to treat my rosacea?
MY doctor says I have a skin condition called rosacea. Can you advise about treatment?Mrs ROBINSON Hoddesdon, Herts Rosacea is a common skin problem affecting the face. It leads to flushing – which can come and go, but may be permanent – plus acne-type spots, with split veins. The cause is unknown, but many people find it gets worse with spicy food, alcohol, hot drinks and stress. Your doctor can help by prescribing antibiotic cream or tablets. They don’t cure rosacea, but they usually help keep it at bay – so you may have to use the treatment long-term.
