Subtype Guide

Rosacea Treatment by Subtype

The best treatment depends on your dominant symptoms. Use subtype patterns to narrow down the most effective options.

ETR (Redness, flushing, visible vessels)

  • Laser or IPL for visible vessels
  • Brimonidine or oxymetazoline for temporary redness control
  • Daily mineral SPF and barrier support

Papulopustular (Bumps + inflammation)

  • Azelaic acid, ivermectin, or metronidazole
  • Oral doxycycline for moderate or persistent flares
  • Gentle cleansing and irritant avoidance

Ocular (Eye irritation, dryness, styes)

  • Lid hygiene and warm compresses
  • Medical evaluation for eye-focused therapy
  • Trigger management for heat and wind

Phymatous (Thickened skin, rhinophyma)

  • Dermatology evaluation for procedures
  • Possible laser or surgical reshaping
  • Supportive topical care for inflammation

Start with the basics

Every subtype benefits from a gentle routine: mild cleanser, soothing moisturizer, and daily mineral sunscreen.

A dermatologist can confirm subtype and tailor treatment. This page is informational and does not replace medical advice.
