Hey, there. I had severe rosacea that also affected my eyes. I was taking doycycline too; nothing helped much until I stopped drinking. The redness and bumps did not go away overnight but they started to improve very quickly. It took about 6 months to resolve completely for me. Of course an improved complexion was not the only benefit of quitting drink! 48 hours is an awesome start-keep going and watch your rosacea improve.
