Mild Rosacea - What Should I Do?

Tags: cheeks, nose, female, mild, rosacea
I have redness on my nose and cheeks. Its mild. Doctor said I have rosacea, however am not 100% convinced. I apply mupimet cream during day and Retino AC gel at night. I used it for a month and although the redness reduced a bit but no major difference. I never get any pimples. Small boils but thats very rare. Do I have rosacea? What cream should I use? Is finacea good for me? Or the creams given by doctor are correct? Can I use DermaNew acne and oil control/rejuvenation for my skin type?

Is mild redness on the face rosacea?
If the redness is persistent, it most likely is rosacea. Also consider that products like Retin A gel can cause some irritation and result in redness.
Topical medications most often used to treat rosacea are metrogel, sulfur/sulfacetamide combinations like Rosula or Clarifoam (there are many of these combinations on the market) and finacea.
