Short term treatment with oral steroids does have a place in rosacea therapy (i.e. 5- to 7-day dose packs). In many cases, pulse-dosing with oral steroids helps relieve facial inflammation and swelling in moderate to severe rosacea sufferers. The goal of this treatment is to knock down the inflammation so that rosacea sufferers can maintain clearance on topical rosacea medications.
