Treament Algorithm: Flushing Many people with rosacea have a history of frequent blushing or flushing. This temporary facial redness may be accompanied by a sense of heat, warmth or burning that comes and goes, and is often an early sign of the disorder. In contrast with persistent redness (erythema), flushing may occur within seconds to minutes in response to a trigger factor. Grade: Typical Features: Mild Occasional mild flushing/redness Treatment Approach: ● Cool compress on face or neck. ● Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy may reduce the flushing response. Moderate Frequent flushing accompanied by burning and stinging sensations In addition to the approaches above: ● Topical medications like oxymetazoline, brimonidine or ivermectin, and oral therapies like carvedilol, clonidine or propranolol may reduce the flushing response. Severe Frequent severe flushing extending beyond the face to the neck and chest, accompanied by severe burning and stinging In addition to the approaches above: ● KTP (green-light) laser treatment may reduce the flushing response. ● Medications addressing individual causes may also be prescribed: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for dry flushing, alpha-agonists or beta-blockers for wet flushing (off-label), or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal flushing. ● Rising core body temperature can activate thermoregulatory flushing, and may be reduced by cooling the neck and mouth. Emotionally induced flushing may benefit from psychological counseling or biofeedback. In addition, gentle skin care may help reduce flushing. Because sun exposure is a major trigger for flushing and persistent redness, sun protection is important. Mineral sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are preferable, because they do not produce heat as a byproduct. Skin-care products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as allantoin, licorice root extract, sulfur or aloe vera, may also be helpful.

Treatment Algorithms for Rosacea: Eye Involvement (Ocular Rosacea) In many rosacea patients, the eyes may be irritated and appear watery or bloodshot, a condition commonly known as ocular rosacea. The eyelids also may become red and swollen, and styes are common. Crusts and scale may accumulate around the eyelids or eyelashes, and patients may notice visible blood vessels around the lid margins. Severe cases can result in corneal damage and loss of vision without medical help. Approximately 20% of patients experience eye signs and symptoms from rosacea before any skin involvement, and some only experience ocular rosacea. Any patient experiencing ocular signs and symptoms should see an ophthalmologist for treatment. Grade: Typical Features: Mild Signs and symptoms affecting the eyelid margin and oil- producing (meibomian) glands along the eyelashes Treatment Approach: ● Apply a warm compress to the eyes. ● Gently cleanse the eyelashes once or twice a day with baby shampoo. ● Artificial tears may help with dry eye or styes. Moderate Signs and symptoms affecting the inner eyelid, tear creation, and/or surface of the eye In addition to the approaches above: ● Antibiotic eyedrops or tacrolimus ointment applied to eyelashes. ● Cyclosporine eyedrops may reduce inflammation. ● A health provider may prescribe oral cyclosporine or another subantimicrobial antibiotic for two to three months. ● Treatment with an intense pulse light (IPL) device may improve eye surface health and meibomian gland function. Severe Advanced disease of the eyelid margin or surface of the eye, including inflammation of the “white” of the eye, iris, or cornea; corneal damage; or vision loss. ● Treatment by an ophthalmologist is required, and may include topical steroids, alternative oral medications, and potentially surgery.

Visible Blood Vessels (Telangiectasia) Telangiectasia are fine capillary blood vessels that may be red to purplish, appearing alone or in spidery clusters on the cheeks, nose, forehead or chin. Special equipment may be required to detect them in patients with darker skin. Treatment Approach: ● Certain types of lasers, intense pulse light (IPL) treatment, or electrosurgery can remove the blood vessels and reduce associated redness. ● Topical retinoids may also eliminate telangiectasia.

Rosacea Treatment Algorithms from the National Rosacea Society Bumps and Pimples (Papules and Pustules) Dome-shaped red bumps (papules) with or without accompanying pimples (pustules). These may occur in groups and are usually most pronounced in the center of the face. Patients who also have acne may develop blackheads, but this is unrelated to rosacea. Sometimes bumps and pimples may join together to form larger raised areas of skin, known as plaques. Mild (A few bumps and pimples, with mild redness) Treatment Approach: ● Topical medication such as microencapsulated benzoyl peroxide, ivermectin, azelaic acid, minocycline or metronidazole. ● Oral antibiotics may be prescribed initially to control symptoms before or at the same time as a topical therapy. Alternatively, low-dose oral minocycline or doxycycline may be used long-term on its own. ● Topical sulfacetamide sodium/sulfa may also be effective. Moderate (Several to many bumps and pimples without plaques, with moderate redness) Treatment Approach: In addition to the approaches above: ● Low-dose minocycline or doxycycline to achieve remission, along with or followed by long-term topical or oral therapy. ● Topical oxymetazoline or brimonidine may be used to reduce redness around bumps and pimples Severe (Numerous and/or extensive bumps and pimples with or without plaques, accompanied by severe redness and potential burning and stinging sensations) Treatment Approach: In addition to the approaches above: ● In cases that resist treatment, alternative therapies such as topical clindamycin or retinoids, or oral antibiotics, isotretinoin or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole may be used.
