Eczema vs. Rosacea: How to Tell the Difference

Treatments

Since the exact cause of both conditions is unknown, there is no exact cure for either eczema or rosacea. For that reason, treatment for both conditions is based on controlling the symptoms.

It is much easier to manage eczema and rosacea once you identify your specific triggers and avoid them. Although this isn’t as easy as said, you can eliminate flare-ups.

Eczema

Treatment options for eczema include:

  • Topical corticosteroids cream to help reduce itching
  • Antibacterial cream in case of a bacterial skin infection
  • Moisturizer that reduce skin dryness
  • Oral corticosteroids [4] that reduce and control inflammation
  • Laser therapy [5] to reduce skin inflammation
  • For severe eczema, your doctor may recommend an injectable biologic medication
