Gentle daily facial massage may help reduce swelling and inflammation. Use a circular motion with your fingers starting on the central part of the face and work toward the ears.
A recent study suggests that caffeine may reduce the risk of developing rosacea. Even so, hot beverages are a common trigger.
Many other alternative therapies — including emu oil, laurelwood and oregano oil — have been touted as possible ways to treat rosacea. But no conclusive evidence supports the idea that any of these substances are effective.
Talk with your doctor about the pros and cons of specific alternative therapies.
Rosacea can be distressing. You might feel embarrassed or anxious about your appearance and become withdrawn or self-conscious. You may be frustrated or upset by other people's reactions. Consider talking with a counselor about these feelings.
A rosacea support group, either in person or online, can connect you with others facing the same types of problems — which can be comforting.
