Q. A 42-year-old fair-skinned woman presents to the dermatology clinic complaining of recurrent episodes of facial flushing and blushing that have persisted over the past several months. She also reports the recent appearance of small pustules on her face. She denies any associated itching but expresses concern about the cosmetic appearance of these lesions.
Physical examination reveals diffuse erythema over the nose, mouth, chin, and cheeks. There are also multiple small pustules scattered over the same regions. No comedones are present. There are visible telangiectasias on the cheeks.
Based on the clinical presentation, what is the most appropriate treatment for this patient?
