Derm consult: Rosacea cannot be "cured" but can be controlled, and the symptoms treated. Redness of facial skin is an early sign, and can be effectively treated by laser therapy (usually pulsed dye). Thickening of the skin and development of cysts, infection, and rhinophyma will require other interventions, including surgery. See a dermatologist for oral and topical antibiotics which help in about half of cases.

Dermatol evaluation: I would first have a dermatologist make a definitive diagnosis as well as treatment recommendations which may take several months to arrive at a satisfactory regimen as well as dietary restriction.
