This infographic on treatment options for #rosacea bumps and pimples (papules and pustules) is part of a series of guides to the recommended approaches for each sign and symptom, at every level of severity. See the full treatment algorithms on our website at www.rosacea.org/patients/tre...
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.
