Ocular Rosacea Treatments

[TRiBaL]

I made a thread in the rosacea section but I am not sure if that section is overlooked anymore. My question is what are the common methods for controlling rosacea in the eyelids? I searched all over google and I really couldn't find anything. Also what can I use on my face if I have facial rosacea? I don't notice any redness on my face but I heard ocular rosacea comes from facial rosacea. Please if you have any tip let me know, thanks.

So... Warm compresses, Messaging the eye lids, Cold compresses, Doxy are basically the only things you can do about ocular rocacea

Also milk combined with ice and water as a compress. I heard of azasite, um... lid scrubs. Then I am so screwed HAhahah
