There is no cure for rosacea. These light therapy and lasers will selectively destroy the visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) while sparing the surrounding skin unharmed. The procedure so called selective photothermolysis. This procedure will sure minimize or completely treat the sign and symptoms of rosacea but will not cure. Maintenance therapy with topical agents is required for long term result. Several factors like skin type, lifestyle factors, and amount of sun exposure after laser therapy will affect the long-term result and can cause fare-ups of rosacea again. One should permanently avoid the triggering factors.

Is Daktacort a prescription medication? I've tried so many creams and none of them worked. I want to start trying more over the counter products so that I don't have to keep paying the deductible on my health insurance. I'm also hesitant to use a steroid cream because it can be very damaging to the skin and body. But if it works I just might take the leap and try it.

If you have a mild rosacea, some dermatologist recommend steroid topical cream. Topical steroids are seldom used to treat symptoms of eczema-psoriasis. So, I think it is always better to ask your dermatologist before trying anything.
