Is Kenalog And Rocephin Shots Advisable For Rosacea?

I have Rosacea on my face. In the past I have had injections of Rocephin 1 gram.It seems to work for a while in addition to taking Clindamycin for 2 weeks.A few year ago I had 3 injections: Decadron 8 mg, Kenalog 80mg and Rocephin 1 gram IM. Can you recommend which of these injections probably are the best for Rosacea?? Thank you

Hello,

There is no such cure for rosacea in general. All you can do is minimize your symptoms by avoiding triggers and taking medicines. I suggest you to visit your doctor first and get a proper prescription for this ailment. Also get your self checked if its rosacea or something else you are suffering from.

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