Question 1

i have mild acne rosacea & my pores in my chin area need cleaning badly. what's an exfoliator that  i can use for a reasonable price?

Accepted Answer

Not for rosacea: In general, if you have rosacea you should avoid using an exfoliator, because it could be irritating!
Preferably, you should clean your skin gently with lukewarm water, wash with your fingers, and try to avoid harsh mechanical scrubbing. Non-soap cleansers with synthetic detergents (beauty bars, mild cleansing bars, many liquid facial cleansers) are better for your skin than traditional soap.

Question 2

is 40 mg once a day of doxycycline enough to rid acne rosacea?

Accepted Answer

SD trial: I have read 50mg to 200mg. Subtherapeutic dosing is supposed to be effective due to the antiinflammatory effect of the tetracycline-type drugs without hopefully causing as much resistance and disruption of gut flora. Try for a few weeks to one month, if not allergic. Topical metronidazole and azelaic acid and laser therapy are also effective.
