What should I do if my rosacea skin is very dry and flaking?
For skin with rosacea that is dry and peeling, it is advisable to apply mild lotions or use ointments such as urea cream, vitamin E ointment, petroleum jelly, or cod liver oil ointment. It is also important to stop using cosmetics to avoid irritating the skin and worsening the symptoms. If there is significant itching, under the guidance of a doctor, some antiallergic medicines can be used, such as loratadine dispersible tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, or olopatadine hydrochloride tablets. Rosacea is a common skin disease that usually presents with facial erythema, papules, pustules, and in severe cases, erosion, exudation, and crusting. Besides medication, rosacea can also be treated with laser therapy at a certified dermatology clinic or through chemical peeling methods.
