Which is the best for rosacea- metrogel, metrocream, or metrolotion?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The Same Medication: Topical Metronidazole is an effective treatment for rosacea. If your skin is sensitive and dry, use the cream; if your complexion is oily, use the gel; and, if you have combination skin, use the lotion.
