Struggling with Rosacea? Here Are the Best Treatments for 2024

[@emanmoha6133]

I'm really happy that I found an honest dermatologist in KZbin that makes the complicated skincare world much more simple and clear. I have combination skin and I mainly struggle with hyperpigmentation and acne (along side with blackheads, whiteheads, logged pores, etc). You already did a video for acne which was so useful and educational. You explained the problem so well and gave a list of solutions to it with explanation which I really loved. Kindly make another video for hyperpigmentation too if possible. I really need your help on that.

My rosacea was caused by SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth) and I cured it by taking a course of penicillin and I also quit eating coconut yogurt and quit taking a probiotic capsule everyday. My SIBO was caused by taking a probiotic capsule every morning on an empty stomach followed by a generous helping of unsweetened coconut yogurt with fruit and psyllium added. I never thought one could have too much bacteria in one's gut but I did.

[@phaetoan]

I am going to comment this to all rosacea topics: do a blood work, especially looking for markers of diseases that run in your family, check your food intolerances etc. I had eczema all on my body, the dermatologists gave me creams which only worked for a while. Turned out I have dairy intolerance. I cut it back for a year completely and my eczema dissappeared. I have had rosacea in the last 5-6 years. They told me to do laser treatment. I did a bloodwork, and finally know I have insulin resistance. First step towards diabetes. Instant cause for rosacea. No laser treatment, pills, creams will solve this problem. But I can change my diet. Much less harmful. It is easier to prescribe sth...

[@lmullens75]

This is excellent advice! When I did my first elimination diet at 40 years old, eight years ago, I realized a gluten intolerance, and my puffiness and redness, significantly decreased. Now that I have developed a severe dairy intolerance, I have noticed my rosacea has gotten worse again. I also supposedly have some autoimmune disorders that are stemming from possible mast cell activation, which I am taking a new medication for. I have been prescribed ampicillin to take orally every day because I’m allergic to doxycycline, but I really hate taking antibiotics for something like this. Your comment has made me really want to do better on my diet so that my skin and the rest of my body can catch a break. Good luck to you and thank you so much for the comment!!!

@kevin424 she found out because none of the rosacea treatments were working. After the final medication her Dr prescribed (I don't remember what it was), he said if that medicine didn't work, she needed to be checked for lupus. He referred her, and it turned out that's what she had been dealing with. The other symptoms were always assumed to be other things. Low energy, depression, arthritis, etc. She was just entering her 50s when she was diagnosed.

OMG this is so funny! First dermatologist I actually want to listen to. Thanks for the info

[@sdlicious]

This was insightful. I had acne like breakout on my nose when I was a teenager and the dermatologists I saw through my teen years and 20's diagnosed it as cystic acne. It bothered me because it was just on my nose and I was always breaking out. None of the treatments prescribed worked. I finally tried an African American dermatologist few years ago who gave me an accurate diagnosis, turned out to be rhino rosacea, she told me it is usually difficult to diagnose it in darker skin tone people. Since I started seeing her, I barely breakout. She initially did a minor procedure to cut off most of the big bumps on my nose and then started doing laser to get it to a manageable state. Now I do laser treatment every 6 months and it has been the best thing for my rosacea. I don't get burn scars from the laser treatment.

Hey Dr. Syed, as someone who struggled immensely with acne and skin care in general, your channel is an absolute Godsend and I appreciate your humble nature in providing factual skin care videos without the marketing BS as a lot of other "dermatology" channels do. I was wondering if you could make a video on controversial ingredients like methylparaben, sodium laureth sulfate, propylene glycol, methylchloroisothialinone and many others as I've done my own research and couldn't come up with a definitive answer to whether or not these ingredients are safe or not. Much appreciated!

[@YerMum]

@@usamasyed I thought I would leave these recommendations/tips I have gathered over the years here, so it might be helpful to others; especially for people without insurance or cannot afford to visit a derm. I have type 1 and 2 Rosacea. I originally come from India and moved to the United States around 5 years ago. I strongly believe that the drastic change in weather conditions, going from a super humid climate to an extremely dry one, contributed to the degradation of my skin barrier. In short, I ignored the problem for a while and even got misdiagnosed with acne. However, I eventually realized that I was actually dealing with rosacea acne. 1. Ivermectin, the drug, is quite expensive, with a brand name called Soolantra costing around $500, and it's often prescribed by dermatologists. If this cost is a barrier, consider consulting an online dermatology service providers (there are many available; I chose Apostrophe). I obtained my topical combination (15% Azelaic Acid, 1% Metronidazole, and 1% Ivermectin) for $75. 2. Finacea (15% Azelaic Acid), is also a name brand that is both prescription only AND super expensive. Wish I'd known this years ago; but Dermatica is the only website that I know of, in the US; where you can order 20% Azelaic Acid without prescription for $25 and $5 shipping. Also, a super hydrating formulation with Squalane and Glycerin. 3. Sulphur, which is probably the only OTC product to show any relief; is the easiest to find. De la Cruz Sulfur ointment (you can find this on amazon) is available in both 5% and 10%(maximum strength) for under $15. This is the least irritating formulation for me. Most of the other sulfur products I have tried have kaolin clay and way less sulfur

One key point for me I noticed is that "Salicilic Acid" causes my redness. I have acne prone skin and Salicylic acid is said to be good to avoid acnes so I started to use Salicylic Acid Serum only to get a red face as if i was sunburnt.. Its funnier because it took me far too long to realise the redness was caused by the serum and not just the Sun.

For example chocolate doesn’t seem to bother me,unlike strong vanilla (like natural bourbon vanilla ) which do🌹

[@lmullens75]

I have a question about your ocular rosacea? I have styes that appear on the inside of my eyelids and I also have bloodshot eyes most days. Is that what yours is like? And did you see an ophthalmologist or dermatologist to get that diagnosis?

I developed rocesea during COVID due to wearing mask. I had redness and acne on cheeks and eczema like condition. Dr's 20/ Azelic Acid worked but didn't cure situation. Only think really worked was DeLa Cruz sulphur cream cheap ordered on internet. Within 2 weeks acne cleared and redness reduced. My cheeks still often become cheeks if I eat anything which has sugar, coffee chocolate. I only apply azelic cream along with vitamin 6 cream from La Roche. I had bought a redness relief called calm for £10 but didn't work. I am trying to build my skin barrier to deal with redness. If skin barrier is built then redness should go. Although, redness is not as bad as it used to be. I think it was mice related because I used same mask without changing it. And dust mites entered my face.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Hi Dr. Syed, yes, I subscribed! I was diagnosed with rosacea in my late 20s, shortly after my mother was diagnosed in her late 40s. I had laser surgery in the mid 90s, and it worked very well. I don't remember what it cost, but the insurance I was on then covered most of the cost. However, the redness eventually did come back. The best solution I've found for redness is a compounded prescription of 15% azelaic acid, 1% metronidazole, and 1% ivermectin in a lotion base. My dermatologist did prescribe a leave on product with sulfur, but my skin wouldn't tolerate it. I peeled like crazy. I also take spironolactone to treat folliculitis on my scalp and breakouts around my hairline. I was a daily sunscreen user even before I was diagnosed. But a few years ago, I got to where I just couldn't deal with the white cast from mineral sunscreens, and I went back to chemical sunscreens. As far as I could tell, my facial skin was OK with that. However, this year, I decided to try a tinted mineral sunscreen, and I'm not seeing a white cast from it. So I'm going to keep using it. My dermatologist has told me not to use retinol or masks or have facials. I haven't specifically asked about AHA or BHA products, but a few months ago, I used up what I had and haven't bought more. The products were a very low percentage of the active ingredients, but I'm not going to resume them until I've talked to my dermatologist about them.15% azelaic acid twice a day may be as much of an active ingredient as I should use. For anyone who's using a leave on sulfur product at night , be aware that it can stain your sheets! And the smell can be pretty bad.

The standard rosecea treatments have so far just made my skin worse. The sulphur cleanser not only smells awful but dries my skin. The azelaic acid stung and burned my face, increased redness and bumps. Derm switched me to Metronidazole, which as you say is basically worthless. I have a clean diet, don’t use alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, almost no sugar or dairy. Very frustrating. I just purchased a red light panel and hope to see benefits from that

[@caty2ful]

Try Soolantra or a cream with ivermectin. The only thing that works. Ah and prepare yourself, it will get worse before it gets better.

[@RebeccaKnows17]

Try using finacea cream (azelic acid) once your skin barrier is more healthy and repaired. I have used it in the past which caused itchy stinging and burning and other times its been okay after repairing my skin barrier. Also it depends on how much your putting on, I use to put loads on my face which I think irritated it, so only use a smaller amount on the areas affected by your rosacea

[@laurenredman2232]

Hi Dr Usama Syed, I'm a 35 year old female and a few years ago out of no where my skin erupted with tiny red bumps in clusters all around my mouth. My skin also felt very textured so I was using a micro exfoliant which I had used for several years without any issue. My skin felt like it was on fire. I was given some sensitive skin products to try which somewhat helped but didn't get rid of it completely. I tried doxycycline, but it didn't get rid of it completely. My GP said he thought it might be a form of rosacea so I went to a dermatologist. The dermatologist said it's a 'form of acne' and prescribed me low dose Roaccutane, which did clear it up. I said to him the bumps are all uniform and feel kind of itchy and benzol peroxide made it worse. Still he insisted it was a form a acne. I believe it is acne rosacea as my skin is very sensitive, which was never the case. I asked him what to do if it returned and he said to use AZ lotion (which contains azelaic acid OTC). But I was never really told how else to manage this. I've had to switch out my cleansers for gentle milk/cream cleansers and pretty much just use a moisturiser as I've had bad reactions to various products. My question is what is a good non physical exfoliant? I use a gentle papaya enzyme mask once a week now but even when I gently wash it off with a face cloth this irritates my skin and I'm left with tiny red bumps all over my face. I feel I need some exfoliant but I really haven't found much advice on what to use when you have acne rosacea.

Im on my 3rd bbl treatment out of 5. Its helping alot. My dr said i should see major difference after 5th treatment. As rosacea is never cured she told me 1 treatment maintenance 1 to 2x a year. She also prescribed 10 % Azealic acid, also said to watch the tretnoin as it can aggravate it more. The bbl was not cheap! And my face swells for 5 days after. I use an ice mask. It feels like hot rubberbands being snapped across my face. Im using way less foundation and am glad i did it. I have a few stubborn capillaries that should be gone by the 5th treatment. Also sunscreen a is a must....hope that helped😊

@@2lobstersinapot thanks :) actually my BbL treatment wasn’t painful at all. I like the antiaging side of it too :D I think I’m gonna try some backup with azeleic acid first.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing this valuable information.🙏

Im pretty sure I have rosacea, my face gets so red beyond what is normal all the time (i jut lacked the visible blood vessels so I kept assuming not but I just learned being totally flushed can also be rosacea). This is a very informative and quick to the point video. Thank you!

You don’t need to have telangiectasia. Some people have it, some don’t. You could have just papules and postules or just redness (erythema) or both of those. You could even just have phymatous manifestations or ocular symptoms. It can present in many different ways. Usually without treatment it gets worse, and can start to involve other symptoms or just a worsening of existing symptoms

Thank you for this video, lots of great advice.

[@prathyushapydipeddigari1480]

Would be glad if u do a video on fungal acne

I have mild Rosacea controlled with an Rx sulfur wash. One day I tried the Vanicream gentle cleanser. Wow, dried out my oily skin and felt so irritated.

[@bawankhalid1209]

So it was bad?

[@aleksaola0619]

I had the same, it dried me out and made me irritated

[@green0eyed0butterfly]

First of all 🎖 This is the first time I watched one of your videos. Love the humour, but even better is the way you explain everything. I've had rosacea crisis before, but here in Portugal, family physicians don't really pay attention to it. Mine told me what it was and thats that. No treatment, no advice. Eventually it passed for a while. Now I'm back at it.... but because it is not an extreme case, I'm going to try the sulfur and azelaic acid, and go from there.

[@usamasyed]

Thank you!

Could you please do a video for people who did loose a lot of weight and how to avoid cracks etc. in the skin while loosing slowly weight by supportive skincare? Is retinol/retinoid and microneedling the way to go? Would be very cool if there would be a video of a specialist like you talking once about that topic.

[@anguscrawford9665]

Hi Dr Syed. Great video. Lots of things online suggest laser therapy needs to be done on a repeat basis. Do you have any studies/evidence that it’s only needed a few times in a lifetime? Is it specifically for type 1 Rosacea? Thank you!

[@koolertrek]

I’ve had to have many v beam laser treatments going on 2 years now. I’ve had one about every 4-6 months. It has helped with the extreme redness and the enlarged blood vessels.

[@ahmedabbasi5691]

@Dr. Usama Syed, do you do any online consultations?

[@suziekatrinchuk3054]

Thanks for the information. I was doxycycline but became highly allergic to it. The Rosacea has attacked my nose now and it's horrible. I live in Prince George BC Canada. I'm now using Finacea to help it.

[@Msparkly-88]

Thank you so much for talking about the prescription creams! All the other dermatologist on KZbin have not talked about it at all! I don’t know why my dermatologist have not prescribed any of the things you said! All the creams she prescribed caused burning on my skin! One of thrm was tacromilus, I think. I don’t understand why she doesn’t jibe what to prescribe! Thank you so much! I just saw this video on my feed and I watched the video and subscribed! 🙏🏻💖 I forgot to ask, my nose does not stop peeling no matter if I used oil, moisture or anything on my face! Would the cream that treats the mites work? Or could you recommend something else? My dermatologist has no clue!

[@ostrauskas]

Thank you. I was hezitating about laser procedures but I will go for it :)

[@ramellakhodabakhsh2304]

I cant thank you enough! I have rosacea to the point that everyone thinks I wear a blush! Its nice in the morning but as I get tired towards end of the day It gets worse and extends to my nose and chin! I have a very sensitive skin on a dry side but acne prone smh! i tried the suggested moisturizer and I was amazed! And Now im using all the products you recommended and 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 my skin look amaing

[@usamasyed]

Love to hear it!

[@anonymousnoon]

what about tea tree oil jel for cleaning the eyelids... thanks for you honesty and the great info

[@drew-citizenX9a48]

CeraVe has an amazing hydrating gentle cleanser and amazing moisturizer lotion/cream. Both contain Hyaluronic Acid and packed with 3 essential ceramides. Their PM moisturizer contains niacinamide as well as ceramides. I highly recommend them as while their prices may be around 15-20$, they last for a few months at a time. I think the total cost for a year with just the cleanser and moisturizer would only be around 200-250$.

Finally, I've found the channel that not sponsored, I'm so happy😊. I have Rosacea (type 1) and Serboheic Dermatitis on the scalp and used Metronidazole. My daily routine I use Eucerin 5% Urea, Alumiers Physical sunscreen and Neutrogena Ultra gentle facial cleanser and Nitrozal shampoo. I've been having a breakout for more than 2 months now, due to heat and sunlight from the windows😢. My face is red, swollen, sting and itchy and my eyelids also swollen. My GP prescribed me to Ivermectin and I've been using it for 2 weeks now but have not shown any improvements. I've been avoiding the sun since. I'm in Canada so it takes forever to see a dermatologist. My questions are: 1. Is it normal to have the breakout this long? 2. Could my body changed during the breakout and causes allergic reaction to the products that I've been using, like sunscreen? 2. Is it related to menopause? I'm so stressed out and desperated as I don't know if this ever gonna end 😢 Please help 🙏. I'm so thankful for reading my long message. Thank you Doctor

[@liviusss]

I'm not a doctor, but unfortunately I think the answer to all your questions can be yes...

[@AL-zl9ew]

Thanks for video, amazing coverage! Can you please provide links for products you mentioned (I don't see it in Description of the video) for Cleanser option, Azelaic acid, thanks!

[@christinagarrett7760]

I couldn't see the links either on my tablet, so I pulled up the video on my phone and I can now see the links 😊

[@Heenakhan_7862]

Hello dr I am from India Can rosacea problem be cured forever or not and is PDL laser the best for rosacea?

[@That_sand_guy]

This is the video I needed, thanks a lot. Unfortunately my GP just gave me Metronidazole 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MichelleTournay]

This was great thank you!!

[@rebeccariehle2764]

Grateful for this video. I definitively cannot use a mineral SPF, it will send my face into a flare and I actually do best with Korean sun protection and my face seems to love Centella and probiotic skincare. I'm starting to wonder if I was misdiagnosed.

[@Solmyr1234]

Can you do a video about microneedling for collagen in face and hairloss on the head? Would love it!

[@dailyhighlightstv9154]

The most informative video on this topic, much appreciated! Any advice on treatments here in the UK? either creams or medication?

[@usamasyed]

Honestly my UK med availability knowledge is very bad!!

[@rogervonita]

Thank you for Dr Syed. I have never heard anyone doctor or otherwise, give such a thorough explanation of different treatments for rosacea. What about treatment for the eyes? I have been trying eye drops.

[@usamasyed]

Ahh honestly the eyes aren’t my area of expertise so will leave that to ophthalmologist colleagues to educate on!

[@Nina21_]

Thank you so much for the incredibly well explained and detailed video while also being fast and straight to the point ❤ 🏆🥇

[@maisymouse1]

I'm not sure if you take video suggestions, but I would love if you made videos on 1. Which skincare products are redundant when using together in a routine, especially when it comes to all of the different acids and 2. Hidradenitis Suppuritiva

[@tanushreebhattacharjee6178]

Loved the info you shared...internet is so much into rosacea care but very few is logical and reasoned with facts...Thank You
