I think the most effective treatment is a combination of in office extractions and topical agents to prevent the black heads from forming. These topical agents are by prescription only and therefore you should come in for an evaluation.

The first treatment we would recommend is an exfoliating product like glycolic acid or Retin A. These can be prescription or over the counter. Try your pharmacy first for an over the counter product.

I’m very fair skin, blue eyes, but I’m debating if it is actually rosacea that I’m suffering from or just a natural rosy Irish complexion. I’m so confused and don’t want to be wasting more money on rosacea products that won’t even be effective for myself because the statistics say sufferers are usually 35-40 when they do develop the condition but I’m only 16. I just want to get to the root of this very frustrating problem.
