Common Questions and Answers about Metronidazole and rosacea

I had seborrheic dermatitis for 7 years now and because of that i had to use Corticosteroid , but unfortunately i did not know about the side effects of that and i used it on the scalp and bear for many years , now that i am 31 i was diagnosed with rosacea, i was wondering can this be steroid induce rosacea and if yes would it go away.
Rosacea has been one of the probably diagnosis made. Along with various other kinds of dermatitis. The metronidazole rosacea cream did very little for the rash, so I kind of ruled out rosacea as a problem.
I seem to always be red across the nose and cheeks and it seems to be getting worse each year and I am beginning to notice some on chin and between eyebrows. I really havent been able to pinpoint triggers but have always blushed easily and have always gotten really red faced during exercise. Playing on tennis and basketball teams in H.S., I was quite the scarry tomato face! Anyway my question is if there is a possible connection with fungus or yeast? Any good tips on types of makeup?
Hi, for about the last year probably, I have had really wierd skin pigmentation problems. My hands and face are constantly really red, and the only relief for my hands is to hold them above my head for awhile, and that relieves it for a about a minute. My whole face is really red to, and stops at my neck. I do have acne, and have been on Accutane for about 4.5 months. I dont know if this may be the problem or what else?
However, three weeks ago my skin started to redden again, and i went to see the doctor. I got given just some metronidazole cream and told to apply this twice a day. A few days later though and my face was more red, dry, very hot and my eyelids had began to swell up. If i apply a little hydrocortisone the swelling and redness goes down for a couple of days then re-occurs. I don't seem to have much in the way of papules and pustules, but the skin does weep a little. It is very distressing.
I’ve been told by my dermatologist that it is rosacea, and by another skin care expert ive been told that I am too young to have rosacea (I am currently 15). I have also been told these are bursted capillaries from singing since I do sing, and I just don’t know who to believe anymore. Right now I use cetaphil cleanser and cetaphil moisturizer and it doesn’t make it worse and actually helps, but what are these things and how can I get rid of them? I’ve had them for years now.
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.
I would guess that this is Rosacea. I say this because I had it. And I say I HAD it because I SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the symptoms by reducing the stress in my life.
In 2003 I noticed the same thing as you. I started to have something like acne, but it wasn't exactly like the kind of acne we're used to as a teenager. I would get little sort-of pus filled bumps on my cheeks. Though first it started with just red areas that then became inflamed. No itch or pain or anything.
The blisters are fluid filled and if squeezed they weep. Metronidazole gel has done nothing for it and im currently using fragrance free cleansers and moisturizer it has helped with the burning and dryness.
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?
ve gone to the doctor many times and the dermatologist a few. The doctor told me it was rosacia and gave me a metronidazole cream. I used this when I did have a rash and the next it was unbearable. I didn't use it anymore and I ended up just taking prednisone. Prednisone is the only thing I've found to work although I don't take it often because I know its bad for you.
Did they diagnose you with balanitis? That's a treatment for that. Did they culture or swab the area?

You should really call the doctor and ask why they prescribed that particular cream.
My dermatologist gave me a cream to put on called metronidazole and a prescription for doxicycline. You can avoid some of the triggers, like alcohol and saunas, but when exercising you could try misting your face with a spray bottle. Mostly I have just learned to live with it.
It is most likely SIBO (small intestine bactrial overgrowth). Do you also have Rosacea? If so, go to a free clinic nearby and ask a doctor for a prescription of Flagyl (metronidazole) - one 500 mg tablet taken twice daily for 10 days. It should clear up. Xifaxan is said to be the strongest treatment, but it costs like $1,000! Google SIBO for more info, and God bless you all!!
ve always had dry skin on the sides of my nose but it was easy to control with exfoliant and moisteriser. Now the skin has started cracking and breaking off. Its also spread up the sides of my nose, around my nostrils, down towards my lip, and almost to my cheeks. I also have a patch of dry skin on my eye lid. All the skin is flaking and breaking off. In some places its raw and red underneath.
It doesn't itch or hurt and I haven't started using any different kinds of makeup or creams.
When you get insurance a trip to the doctor is indicated for a diagnosis. If you have Rosacea, a prescription of oral Oxytetracycline and topical metronidazole will help.
Eloise.
Tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, and doxycycline are the most common antibiotics used to treat rosacea. Some people respond quickly, while others require long-term therapy.
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.
I have tried everything to get rid of them--zit cream, tea tree oil, Metronidazole cream, homeopathic rosacea gel, eczema cream, Desitin, and calamine lotion. Nothing seems to help. I did not change my makeup, laundry detergent, or skin care products before it began. I have fair, sensitive skin as well. Can anyone offer insight into what it may be?

Started from the jaw line and now spread behind ears and all over cheeks and forehead. It looks like rosacea also tiny bumps but mine comes and goes and i dont take anything for it. Im also olive skin but im italian. Anyone who can give me any answers please i cannot figure this out i went to a dermatologist and got cream that made it worse im trying to not have to go back. Thanks!
I have read your answer on the above question. I am an uncircumsized male who has had recurring problems with this condition. You trangressed to mites, and hydrocortizone creame. My scrotum became highly inflamed and red with itching. What worked for me was clotrimazole creame or triazole. These are antifungal drugs and the results were amazing. If you have a way to help those that seemed to get no answer please let them know.
