Rosacea is a clinical diagnosis but biopsy can be performed to rule out other diagnoses. Treatment consists of lifestyle modifications such as avoiding known triggers and the use of topical and/or oral agents. Common topical therapies include metronidazole and erythromycin. Systemic antibiotics include tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, azithromycin, and erythromycin. Some children are able to taper systemic agents and maintain disease control with topical therapy, while others may need to continue a low-dose antibiotic. Although flares can be controlled within weeks to months, rosacea is a chronic disorder and childhood rosacea tends to persist into adulthood.
