class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I do for myself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to avoid things that cause you trouble.&nbsp;For example, it could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sun and warmth<\/li><li>Cold<\/li><li>Blown<\/li><li>Alcohol<\/li><li>Hot Drinks<\/li><li>Spicy food<\/li><li>STRESS.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nurture and protect your

different types of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">treatments for rosacea<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medicines that you apply to the skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a non-prescription drug that usually works well.&nbsp;It contains metronidazole and is available as a cream and gel.&nbsp;You should only use it if a doctor has found you have rosacea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also prescription drugs to lubricate the skin.&nbsp;For example, it could be Finacea or Soolantra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should use the creams until the trouble has gone away and usually a period afterward.\u00a0After three months of <strong>treatment for rosacea<\/strong>, it is good to see the doctor who will then decide whether to continue treatment or if you can stop.\u00a0The duration of treatment depends on which drug you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The redness can be treated with a gel containing brimonidine.&nbsp;The effect is temporary because the drug pulls the vessels together for about a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tablets or capsules may be needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it does not help to treat with medicines that you apply to the skin.\u00a0Then you can get tablets or capsules with antibiotics that you have to take for a few months.\u00a0The type of antibiotic used is called\u00a0tetracyclines.\u00a0You should continue to lubricate with medicines both during and after the antibiotic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rosacea<\/span> in the eyes can also be treated with antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capsules containing the active substance isotretinoin can sometimes be used if you have very serious problems.\u00a0Isotretinoin is a drug that can be used in severe
