A member asked:
My rosacea seems to be an inflammation problem, because only antibiotics control symptoms. could there be other underlying inflammatory conditions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. See your doctor: Absolutely. Rosacea is associated with many other illnesses, such as multiple sclerosis and autoimmune diseases like lupus or autoimmune hepatitis. If you are worried about this, please see your family doctor. Best wishes.
