Question : How can I treat rosecia?

Answered by Dr. Suresh Heijebu (6 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Topical and systemic antibiotics are required.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concern.

Acne Rosacea needs to be treated with both topical and systemic therapy.

For topical therapy, I usually prescribe AVITA cream 0.05% to be applied daily at bedtime.

Likewise for systemic therapy, I prescribe oral pills of DOXYCYCLINE 40mg PO qAM on empty stomach for 21 days.

Please check with your physician, if he shares my view and if can prescribe these drugs to you.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
