Hi. I use the Rosaliac range by La Roche-Posay which is very helpful for Rosacea. Other good brands for redness are Eucerin's Redness Relief range and Clinique's Redness Solutions.
A course of oral oxytetracycline will also be beneficial.
You can use tacrolimus ointment for this.Using this rosacea often resolves the itch, redness, and tenderness of steroid-induced rosacea in 7 to 10 days with twice daily application. Complete clearing of steroid-induced rosacea usually takes 1 to 2 months. Sometimes clearing takes a bit longer. Avoiding rosacea triggers, such as caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol, also may help clear the skin.But pls don’t worry as it is not a permanent condition.
Hope it helps.
Hi everyone...Recently I have been having several problems with the skin on my face. Up until about a year ago I had absolutely flawless skin. I'm 22 years old and live in Florida and used to go tanning alot but stopped about a year and a half ago. It started when I went on the birth control-nuva ring for ovarian cysts about 5 months ago and recently changed to yaz and have seen no difference.
I stoped exfoliating after I notices which as been 2 years ago and I still have the rash on my face, I dont know if I scrubed too hard, etc...well the doctors think I have some dermatitis and also a little bit of rosacea. I don't have any eye redness or tearing associated with the pimples. When is hot it burns and when it is cold it gets too dry. The point is that I have had it for 2 years now and it doesn't go away and I really don't think is ever going to go away.
In general, the Sulfa or Rezamid is for pimples/pustules and the Metrogel for redness. If any scaling I will use Elidel Cream which also can help the redness. Occasionally I just mix up two or three on my hand and apply them together.
The above seems to work for me but you may have to experiment. Very important to use a very strong and non-irritating sunscreen if the sun is a trigger which it is for many with rosacea. I found the Blue Lizard Sunscreen products excellent.
During Tx I got Rosacea, now I know that before Tx I had Seborea and during the Tx it gor worsen and I got Rosacea, the Rosacea during Tx was much more severe then it is now.
Rozex doesn't help, many times I have redness on the T zone on my face, the only thing that help is a little bit Elidel.
Does anyone here familiar with that, I mean - to get Rosacea during Tx, does it become better after Tx ? Is it curable? Any experience with Elidel or any other medication for Rosacea ?
My doctor has given me metrogel and said it could be rosacea, but the redness has increased since using it and i now flush every single time i eat. But another doctor has said it looks like mild acne due to the amount of blackheads and clogged pores i have. Can skin become inflamed from too many clogged pores? And if so does food aggravate it the same as it would with rosacea?
I'm just confused and wish i had a definate diagnosis.
Hi, I have had Rosacea for a number of years. I don't know what Type it is but it is red pimples on my cheeks, occasional white heads but these are rare,and nose and Telangiectasia on my chin. I have been treated with Topical Finacea 15%. It has helped for a long time. But lately I am getting a lot more small pimples and peeling skin. I put Cetaphil Eczema calming cream on my face before putting on the Finacea and that has helped with the redness. But my skin still has been peeling.
Or should I keep any lotion or aloe away from that eye while I use the metrogel? Like I said, the periocular dermatitis/rosacea is just under my right eye, nowhere else!! I need some professional help here so I can tell him "this is what a professional told me."
Any help is so appreciated, I just hope I can help someone else in the future who may have this problem as well.
Thank you!
) The condition seems temporarily ameliorated by exfoliation but really only for a day and my skin is too sensitive to exfoliate very often. The redness and inflammation brought on by even gentle exfoliation lasts longer than the return to semi-normal texture. Mousturizers with AHAs or strong retinols make my skin flaky and break out in little, red, ulcer-like pimples.
I was diagnosed with rosacea a year or so ago and given a prescription for Metrogel.
I was dx'd (very surprised about this) with Rosacea and given Oracea 40 mg to take once a day. By day 8, my intestines were saying 'no way'. My derm's P/A said to stop the med.
What are my options. I've made a follow up with my derm, who is only in the area a few times a week, and would like to be prepared to help make decisions.
My concern is my nose. I had pointed out to him, during my full body check, some pinkie tip sized indentations on my nose.
Have seen two dermatologists so far but the condition did not improve. He was given topical metrogel 1% which did not work and the 2nd dermatologist put him on antibiotics for 3 months! nothing worked and wondering what other options he has.
Went to a dermotologist and he perscribed 2 ointments (protopic and metrogel) neither hae had any positive effect. any advice please............
Hey,
At a bit of a loose end with a skin problem, so was hoping for some help.
Summer '08 - started getting a nasty rash around my mouth, treated with cortisone.
Sept '08 - developed mild acne, and a strange red mark on my right cheek.
Oct'08 - perscribed antibiotics for mild acne, which subsided quickly.
Winter '08 - strange red mark had grown to cover most of my cheek, and started on the other cheek.
Up until now - skin has become ridiculously sensitive.
My family practice doctor has prescribed metrogel for rosacea. After reading about rosacea, I am thinking it might not be rosacea. I do not have any rash or bumps, just little veins filled with blood. I am a male in my early 50s, I do not drink alcohol or smoke. I drink only one cup of coffee a day. There doesn't seem to be a time it is better or worse. I just seem to get more red with each subsequent year. Any idea what this could be? Do you think it is a form of rosacea?
