Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
If it is diagnosed as Rosacea, therapy for the its treatment is not curative. While rosacea cannot be cured, medical treatments are available that can control or eliminate its various signs and symptoms.
Antibiotics are a common rosacea treatment, but not because bacteria cause rosacea. Instead, antibiotics may help rosacea symptoms by easing swelling and relieving the pimple-like skin problems you may have. Apart from these it is very important to know the triggering factor and avoid it. That will hasten the recovery.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely.
I find this answer helpful
