There are no current treatments that specifically target cathelicidin or SCTE but this most recent discovery may allow scientists to design molecules that block cathelicidin. Most likely, any treatment would be directed towards binding cathelicidin. Any attempt to eliminate excess amounts of it will be difficult to accomplish. For now, continue to use topical creams, oral antibiotics, and behavior modification as these currently offer the best results. Laser treatments can very effectively help the dilated blood vessels. Hopefully, new treatments that target cathelicidin will emerge in the near future. Perhaps other proteins will be identified that play a role in rosacea. Rosacea may not ever be cured, but more research and discoveries will lead to new treatments that can effectively control the disease.
