Rosiver is prescribed for the topical treatment of bumps and pimples found with rosacea. Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that occurs in adults. It can produce small, red, pus-filled bumps or pimples on nose, cheeks, forehead and chin (but not the same as whiteheads or blackheads found with acne). Use the cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Apply a pea-size amount to each of the five areas of the face (i.e., forehead, chin, nose and each cheek) at bedtime. Rosiver should be applied smoothly and evenly across the entire face. Do not spot treat. Wash hands after treatment. Avoid contact with the eyes and lips. Do not apply cosmetics immediately before the daily application of Rosiver. You should use these products only after the applied Rosiver has dried. You may notice a distinct improvement after 4 weeks of treatment. In the case of no improvement after 3 months, you should discontinue Rosiver and consult your doctor.
