Using finacea for papular rosacea. it is worse than ever after 5.5 weeks use. what chance this could still work? always flares up 1 wk before period.

Add more: I am a big fan of Finacea. However, after 5.5 weeks i wouldn't give up but try to add another medication to work with it. Many times, for women who flare with their period, i add a low dose antibiotic such as Oracea, 1 pill each day for 7-10 days before the flow starts. My female patients have had great success with this combination treatment.
