Benzoyl peroxide and metrogel to treat acne rosacea, how to use?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rosacea: I recommend patients with rosacea try to reduce their stress! minimize alcohol intake and no smoking! daily use of a gentle cleanser and Metrogel twice a day. If there is nodular rosacea i place the patient on Doxycycline as well. I do not use benzoyl peroxide as a routine for this.
