I’ve read that Tetracyclines like doxycycline are the best route. However, I was on doxycycline a couple of years ago for something else, and I might have built a resistance to it. Could I go back on it or would there be better route of treatment for steroid induced rosacea? Any info would help, thank you.
Answer: Improving Rosacea with Clear + Brilliant, peels and VBeam/Yellow lasers, Botox I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Steroid induced Rosacea I think you would still respond to Doxycycline. You could also try laser treatments with Vbeam or photodynamic therapy which work well for rosacea.

Answer: Stop steroid, use Doxy for steroid induced rosacea. Rosacea is very complex and a tailored treatment program give the best results. This is because there are many types of rosacea (telengtctatic or capillaries, flushing and redness, acne like rosacea, ocular rosacea and even rhinophyma rosacea.) Steroid induced rosacea is the easiest to treat as it responds to tetracyclines and does not usually recur. Any residual redness can be treated with vascular lasers.
