Inflammatory rosacea When papules (small red bumps) and pustule (pus-filled pimples) star appearing, rosacea has entered the inflammatory stage. These two symptoms are like acne, but they are totally different and require different treatments. Late rosacea This is the most advanced phase of rosacea. The illness still has all its earlier symptoms, only they appear more intense. One patient may find that exposure to the sun triggers an attack of more pustules on the face, while another might find the same attack happens if he eats some spicy food. Still others are not affected at all. Some treatments The inflammatory part of rosacea (papules, pustules, nodules) is treated with topical agents that contain very mild topical steroids.

And this is life long treatment.
