Suggest Treatment For Rosacea

I have had for quite a long time red oval circles on my face in a couple of different places. I saw my dermatologist and she didnt say anything about it, just that I had some rosasea. So you know what it could be? I thought maybe ringworm, but didnt sound like it when I looked it up
