Avoid spicy, irritating foods and alcohol consumption for rosacea. Avoid exposure to cold or heat stimuli, minimize mental stress, and maintain a positive psychological state and regular lifestyle. Keep bowel movements smooth and regulate endocrine imbalances. Topical treatments such as clindamycin or fusidic acid cream can be used. In severe cases of rosacea, patients may later develop pustules or nodules, which may require surgical treatment.
