No. your blood does not have to be drawn.

Treatment is with Metronidazole Topical Gel (80% effective) or Permethrin 5% cream. You may also have to take an antibiotic (doxycycline, tetracycline or erythomycin) for 1 month. You dermatologist will decide on the best medication based on the stage of your rosacea.

You should:
Avoid Alcohol
Avoid prolonged heat exposure
Avoid hot liquids (coffee, tea)
Avoid heavy cosmetics
Avoid provocative medications such as Benzoyl Peroxide or Topical Corticosteroids

and Use sun screen regularly.
