i have treid all kinds of treatment, metrogel, antibiotics and all kinds of miracle treatments , but nothing has worked. Can anyone offer any advice please?Does anybody suffer from rosacea?
I have had bad rosacea for years. I too tried all types of stuff with no real success. Recently I tried using an anti-fungal cream, (Clotrimazol - prescribed for ringworm), not specified for rosacea, and it actually cleared up!
Before, my cheeks were bright red, really flaky, oily, irritated all of the time. Now I look pretty normal. I don't know why this worked, it just did. Also, you have got to cut out caffeine, and salty processed foods. Eat healthy, it helps.Does anybody suffer from rosacea?
Cutting out dairy products really helps but to be honest no amount of creams will help. Sorry x
There is no cure for rosacea. Treatment often helps keep symptoms under control and prevents the disease from getting worse. If left untreated, rosacea symptoms can get worse, recur more often, and eventually may become permanent.Treatment for the four main forms of rosacea vary depending on your symptoms. Erythematotelangiectatic. Symptoms include flushing and often thin, red lines (telangiectasias) on the face. Some people report stinging or burning of the face. Treatment may include oral antibiotics. Your skin may be too sensitive for you to use ointments on your face. In mild cases, you can apply a gentle anti-inflammatory product and sunscreen in the morning. If medication does not clear up the thin, red lines, which are tiny blood vessels, a form of laser surgery called pulsed dye laser therapy may help. Papulopustular. Symptoms include small pimples (pustules). You can also have facial flushing and tiny, red lines on your cheeks. Your doctor may prescribe ointments for your face or antibiotic medication. You may even use both at the same time. Skin tends to be less sensitive with this form of rosacea. Phymatous. Symptoms include thick, bumpy skin and large pores. The most common type affects the nose (rhinophyma Other types affect the chin, forehead, ears, and eyelids. You may also have flushing, pimples, and visible blood veins. Your doctor may prescribe isotretinoin for phymatous rosacea in its early stages. Surgery or laser resurfacing can reshape the nose in severe cases of rhinophyma. Ocular. Symptoms include red, dry, and irritated eyes. You may feel like something is in your eye. Your eyelids may swell or feel dry and flaky. In severe cases you may feel pain or have blurred vision. You can try artificial tears for dry eyes. Ointments work well for mild cases. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotic pills.
Hope this helps
