My father was diagnosed recently with rosacea. The physician put him on an antibiotic pill and some cream. I have always had a red butterfly-shaped area on my face and assumed it was part of being a redhead. Looks like I probably inherited the rosacea from Dad. How do you treat your rosacea? I would love to hear of some remedies other than the antibiotics! He and I can't stay on those forever!

I actually don't have this, but my mother is a Sales Director with Mary kay and has many customers who have this. There is a special regimen she has them on and it seems to really work. One of my best friends has it and uses it through her. Also, many dermatologist have even recommended MK to their patients. You may want to try something along those lines. Hope this helps!

This is so odd that you would ask this today. I just read in one of my home rememdy books what to do for it. It was something simple like corn starch or something like that. My eyes are blurring right now so I cant see to reread the book but I will try to think to do it tomorrow. If I forget, just email me and I will look.

I found this website while I was looking around for info. It seems pretty complete.

I was told by a facialist that I may have it too. What antibiotic did they put him on? What cream? I have sensitive skin too. I get red at the drop of a hat.
Good luck to you and your dad.

I've had it for about 10 years and yet to find anything that helps mine.
Mine is getting worse under my left eye. I think part of my problem is sun damage on top of the rosacea.
I had no idea it was inherited either. My mother has it and I never thought about getting it from her.

Antibiotics don't work. That has been proven. Unless he has an infection somewhere, he shouldn't be on one. Get to a Doctor who knows something about Rosacea, sounds like this one never went to the Rosacea website. Also get your eyes checked, Rosacea can go to your eyes.

Tetracycline will help a really, really bad outbreak for a short period of time. But never on more than 1 or 2 weeks per year.

The cream I'm on is called Metrogel. What's he on? There is also a sulfa one, but that one wasn't right for me, it burned my face.

I inherited mine from my Father, too.
