Suggest Medication For Rosacea And Acne

I am suffering from Rosacea and acne. I am fair complexioned with sensitive and oily skin. I had visited a dermatologist and he had advised me the usage of PICON 30 along with cetaphil moisturizing cream .But it is breaking me out and is causing more whiteheads and oiliness in my skin without redness as well as acne. Sunscreens breaks me out so I use it sparingly but I am also photo allergic and.Please advice a regimen I I need to follow to have a healthy skin. Also can I use Retinoid creams to treat the acnes? I am 29 years old female with height of 5 feet and 7 inches. Weight is 60 kgs.

Hi.
As per your case history you have resistant rosacea.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure. Avoid any cosmetic products and procedures.
2. Avoid spicy and fast food.
3. Retinoids will increase rosacea. So don't use it.
4. Use a aqua Base sunscreen like sunblock aqua gel. Apply metronidazole cream twice daily on affected part.
5. Other treatment options are oral tetracyclines, ivermectin gel, clindamycin gel.

Thanks
