Creams and gels have been used in the treatment of skin infections long before the advent of modern medicine. Our fore fathers often used oils from animals and smashed leaves with medicinal value to treat a host of skin infections that were prevalent in those olden days. With the introduction of technology and modern medicines, the ointments have become more prevalent in the treatment of skin infections. It is therefore no wonder that creams and gels are being used as a method of Rosacea treatment even today.

 

The use of gels and creams as Rosacea treatment is very popular considering the fact that most people today use creams even when they have no skin infections to worry about. In fact most pharmaceutical companies that manufacture creams and skin lotions today have made it a ground rule to include medicinal components in their products to make them more appealing to the public. Some of the many creams and gels that are used in Rosacea treatment include metronidazole and tetracycline among many others.

 

It is however important to note that most of these creams and gels should never be allowed to get any closer to the mouth or eyes or get into contact with any open wounds. This is because they are very harsh and could bring serious itching if they get into contact with the eyes. Of course the other important ground rule that everybody must observe when dealing with the creams and gels is to ensure that you wash the affected areas thoroughly before applying any gels or creams. We need not tell you to always keep medicines away from the children and to always ensure that you follow the doctor or dermatologist’s instructions to the last detail.

 

Applying the gels or creams on unwashed skin surfaces will only make the situation bad as the ointments can not get into good contact with the skin and react to cure the Rosacea infection. Make sure you clean your skin at all times since this will not only make the creams and gels work better but it also helps in preventing the skin from catching any other funny infections especially the contagious ones.

 

Metronidazole is a good option for Rosacea treatment as it has no side effects like some other treatment methods used to treat skin infections today. However there are things you should avoid if you expect to get good results out of this gel. Among the most important factors that you need to consider when you are under this medication is to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays as they will affect your Rosacea treatment a great deal. This means that you have to avoid even visiting bars and restaurants with ultraviolet lights to avoid worsening the situation.

 

Rosacea treatment using gels is much better than phototherapy save for the fact that it takes a longer time to fully recover. If you were to choose between the oral medication and the gels and creams as a Rosacea treatment method, you should always give the gels a chance as they have less negative effects.
