Anyone have a good treatment for acne rosacea?

[Dennis S]

My uncle said sulfacetamide helped with his. I was wondering if sulfur itself would be as good or better. Is the sulfur in a medicine potentiated or augmented to work better than the real thing?

diluted peppermint oil can be highly effective.

sulfacetamide is a antibiotic and you really should have a dr or pharmacist check for contraindications for/with the cocktails of meds you may or may not already be taking

I know of no clinically validated treatment for formal rosacea with known mode of action.

I am a rosacea sufferer, developed almost overnight a few years ago.

There are a few creams that can help in some cases, but how they work is a mystery.

If you have acne, there are many other treatment options.

I always have my pharmacist do this. He has a computer program that spots contraindications and knows a lot more than my doctor.

I've had it for 50 years. Many, many suggestions tried over the years (dietary and medication) but nothing really works so have now accepted that a red nose is me.

Mine is different than yours. I can envision how medicine wouldn't work on yours. Mine is like acne and some thinks will eliminate it but it comes back.

Diluted tea tree oil works well for some people
