Rosacea (Metronidazole 1% gel, Azelaic Acid 15% gel)

Calm rosacea flares and reduce inflammatory bumps with a consistent, skin-friendly plan.

How treatment may help: Topical metronidazole and azelaic acid are established options for the inflammatory bumps and pustules of rosacea. They can gradually reduce lesions and improve overall control, while gentle skin care, daily sun protection, and identifying personal triggers help prevent flares. Persistent visible blood vessels or background redness may need different treatments.

What to expect: Improvement usually builds over several weeks. Mild burning, stinging, dryness, or irritation can occur, especially when starting azelaic acid. Apply only as directed and avoid harsh scrubs or irritating products. Eye pain, light sensitivity, gritty eyes, vision changes, or a sudden severe flare should prompt in-person evaluation for ocular rosacea or another diagnosis.
