        There is no cure for rosacea. Treatment depends on the stage and severity of the disease and is symptomatic <\/strong>and aims to improve the aesthetic outcome.<\/p>\n

        In the initial stages, it is recommended to avoid irritating factors (heat, stress, foods) and use high-protection sunscreen and topical application of vasoconstrictor cosmetics and creams.<\/p>\n

        In more advanced stages, the use of topical pharmaceutical preparations by the doctor is required, which mainly contain antibiotics (metronidazole) or azelaic acid.<\/p>\n

        In the final stage of rhinophyma, dermatosurgical intervention is required with cauterization of the lesions with diathermy or laser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
