Treatment for the acneiform component of rosacea consists of oral tetracycline or erythromycin in gradually decreasing doses over 1 to 2 months as symptoms subside. Resistant cases can be treated with oral minocycline or doxycycline. Isotretinoin is also effective, but its use is limited to those with severe disease. Topical metronidazole gel helps the papules, pustules, and erythema. Sulfacet-R lotion, available in flesh tones, controls pustules and hides redness. It can be used alone or together with oral antibiotics. Other treatments include electrolysis to destroy large, dilated blood vessels and removal of excess tissue in patients with rhinophyma. Topical hydrocortisone preparations worsen the condition.
