s excellent post, but I have had to take doxycycline for Rosacea and am alway uptight when it is suggested, as I very often get serious diarrhea from antibiotics.
For me, then, anxiety is always high when an antibiotic is prescribed. Phobic about the medicine. I never experienced anxiety from this medication. I think I may have been on an SSRI a few times when doxicycline was recommended....
Do follow up on mammo's advice. Good luck!
Same problem here, doctor send me to a dermatologist, He put me on Doxycycline hycate and a face gel called Sulfacetamide. Was working great but the Doxycycline seemed to give me stomach issues. When i go back i'm going to ask about metrogel, that seemed to work better after my first tx. Best to you.
t want to worry you but you need to be careful with prolonged use of doxycycline. My daughter was on that for 1 year for acne. Her copper level is 3 times higher then what is acceptable. Which in turn made her acne worse. high levels of copper will cause skin problems. I am now working on a liver cleanse and an all natural way to pull the copper out of her body.
Background. Have had limited rosacea on face for years. Over the past couple years,I've been exposed to someone who had a 'dormant' cold sore, and exposed to someone who had uveitis or iritis (not knowing it was probably triggered by a virus). My rosacea is getting worse with lesions on the nose. Putting topical finacea clears up one area, but the itchy redness creeps past the treated area and I now have ocular rosacea.
Have you tried any other treatments for rosacea other then the doxycycline? If it is rosacea, it can be hard to treat- and never really goes away- it's one of those conditions you just manage. There are other options you can try to treat- things like laser therapy. I'd encourage you to head back to the dermatologist that gave you the doxycycline- make sure they know it didn't help and work with them to explore other options. I hope you feel better soon, this sounds miserable!
Isotretinoin may be considered as a treatment option for all forms of severe or therapy-resistant rosacea.
Sunscreens, particularly those that protect against ultraviolet A and B light waves and have a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 13 or higher, are recommended for all people with rosacea.
It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for this and then decide the cause and further plan of management.
Let us know if you need any other information.

My dermatologist did a full body check last Tuesday and told me I have Rosacea both on my face (only on my nose) and Occular Rosacea. I have been having recurrent styes for years in one eye.
He put me on Oracea (Doxycycline 40mg time released) and I've taken it for 5 days. Late last night I noticed a stye sensation in the same place as usual and see one is forming on the inside of the lower lid. How long does it take for the antibiotic to prevent more styes?
Tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, and doxycycline are the most common antibiotics used to treat rosacea. Some people respond quickly, while others require long-term therapy.

I am 28 and have had rosacea for about 1 year now. My skin is severely dry, tight and flaky. My cheecks are always extremely red. Rosacea sufferers are not supposed to use exfoliaters, so how am i supposed to get rid of the dry flaky skin? I cant use cover up because it only highlights the dead skin and i dont like going out in public with my skin all red and flaky. HELP. I dont want to take antibiotics. Does anyone know of any natural remedies?

I have Rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis also. But Elidel is for Eczema not Rosacea. Maybe he was using it off label for you? It does have some long term potential side effects. I would get another opinion. You may be getting rebound from going off of it. I am not sure if this drug does that. Cortisone definitely does. I use azaleic acid topical. It has worked for me for a long time. It is a prescription. You can also try low dose Doxycycline.
How long do I need to continue to use the metrogel to keep the dermatitis away for good? 2 months? Not sure how long I should use it. Also, I was on doxycycline however it upsets my stomach (with or without food) so I have to call my doctor on monday to try a different antibiotic. Anything you reccomend as far as an antibiotic? Also what about using Metrogel while taking an antibiotic at the same time?
Accutane induced rosacea is mentioned on various forums. This is quite an informative answer i came across on "The Rosacea Forum" - Rosacea from accutane?
"Accutane/isotretinoin flushing is a big red flag that the body has had enough and isn't coping with the retinoic acid... Hives often indicate a serious drug reaction. The post-Accutane period is the most unknown.
I have also been on antibiotics for almost two years for ocular rosacea and blepharitis. First Tetracycline, then Doxycycline and finally, for the last 10 months, minocycline which I know can in rare cases cause some type of liver toxicity.
I have stopped the antibiotics and hope that clears up the problem. When or how long should I wait to start to be concerned?
Thanks so much.
Then seen optometrist says I plugged rear ducts and bhleparitis. Doxycycline antibiotic given for 10 days. I have asthma, allergies and eczema and oral herpes. I think I should see a ophthalmologist to rule out herpes in the eye. I see dermatologist to rule out rosacea. What are the chances of getting ocular herpes from that occurrence?

After seeing a dermatologist he prescribed me Doxycycline for 1 month and an ointment made of Clindamycin 2%, HC 1% in 80% h20 and 20% isopropanol. This ointment took away the red spots before I even started the anti biotics but once I ran out, the spots came back again...
