Accepted Answer

Rosacea: There are other treatment options.  Oral medications such as doxycycline for the pimples are very helpful.  If you have excess redness, a topical medication, Mirvaso can reduce the redness for 8-10 hours at a time.  Laser therapy is also effective to reduce the redness

Question 3

Clear : Typically one can see improvement after several weeks of treatment in mild cases.

Question 5

using metronidazole (netrogel) on face for rosacea. however, i also have this breakout around my eyes. is it ok to use around my eye?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Metronidazole gel is meant for use on the skin. Because it is not an ophthalmic preparation, it is generally not recommended to apply on or near the eyelid.  If your breakout is near your eyelids, have your doctor evaluate it to determine if you have ocular rosacea or seborrhiec dermatitis of the eyes. Treatment depends on the diagnosis.

Question 6

can triamcinolone cream be used in place of desonide cream for rosacea? can not get into the dr. for a week and my desonide cream is all. a friend also has rosacea and uses triamcinolone cream.

Accepted Answer

That : That is not a standard treatment for rosacea and is typically felt to be too strong for the face.  Read about rosacea and treatment options at the link below.  I hope that helps!

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Get rid of my rosace: Creams do help improve the clinical condition / appearance of roseacea but are not a physiologic cure.  There are also other methods that help improve rosacea which include light IPL therapy.

Question 8

will metro cream help the look of redness from mild rosacea and broken capillaries in cheeks and chin or will it make it worse or  do nothing at all?

Accepted Answer

Tough to treat: Redness from rosacea is one of the more difficult parts to treat. Metrocream helps with the acne like bumps and may slightly improve the redness. It will not impact the broken capillaries. You may add a medication like finacea. Remember to avoid alcohol, tobacco, spice and hot foods, sun and smoking. Also there are laser treatments for the broken capillaries.

Question 9

i am using  tretionin cream a few days a go to treat my rosacea pustules, my skin is flaky a lot before and after i wash my face. is it normal ?

Accepted Answer

Can be drying: Prescription medications for acne can be quite irritating for some people.  It is usually recommended that hypoallergenic cleansers and moisturizers, such as Cetaphil, be used in addition to help minimize dryness.

Question 10

can hydraphase cause a very strong heat when applied to the face? could i have some kind of allergy to that cream?(i've been prescripted with rosacea)

Accepted Answer

Unusual reaction : It is just a mosturizer.  You might be allergic, a different story.
