Help for skin with rosacea?

so my dermatologist told me i have rosacea and prescribed metrolotion for my dry sometimes break-out prone skin (and it's absolutely fantastic. i recommend looking into it)


i love a daily face care ritual and miss st ives apricot scrub (too tough on my skin now). can anyone recommend good cleaners and moisturizers for dry rosacea skin? it would obviously need to be made for very sensitive skin.


thanks in advance!Help for skin with rosacea?
I know they have an apricot scrub for sensitive skin, I am prone to redness and I like it. Also Aveeno moisturizing cleanser is great, it is all natural and it won't clog your pores.

Best way to help rosacea?

Hello,





I have had a patch of rosacea under my eye for the last few years. The severity comes and goes, but right now, it鈥檚 the worst it鈥檚 been. I have developed a small pimple, but has not gone away in months. Is a microdermabrasion helpful for cases such as these? I currently apply a cream called proascea, but heard it may make it worse? How about metro-gel, which is prescribed. Also, I have heard primrose oil is VERY effective, but is this applied topically, or orally? ThanksBest way to help rosacea?
';What is used for rosacea?





Treatment involves both oral and topical medicines. Oral antibiotics (such as tetracycline) are commonly prescribed; the dose may be initially high and then be tapered to maintenance levels.





A topical (skin) antibiotic cream such as metronidazole (Metrocream) is useful to reduces the inflammation and the redness. Other topical antibiotic creams include erythomycin and clindamycin (Cleocin).





Short-term topical cortisone (steroid) preparations of the right strength may also be used to reduce local inflammation. Some doctors are trying tretinoin (Retin-A) or isotretoin (Accutane), prescription medications also used for acne, or permethrin (Elimite) cream, which is used for the mites that cause scabies.';





Microderabrasion could make rosacea much worse.


I have to ask: how do you know for sure that you have rosacea? Have you been diagnosed by a doctor? I have never heard of having just a patch of rosacea. It's possible that rosacea treatments may not work on your condition.Best way to help rosacea?
Metro-gel will probably help. Personally I've been happier with Azelaic acid. Go see your doctor and mention Azelaic acid (usually its for acne but there have been papers published about it's use for rosacea).

I have a mild rosacea?

I used to scrub my face really hard but I don't do it anymore, and especially even if I wash my face with water my cheeks and chin gets red, bumpy and inflamated. I used different face washes and tried to wash with mild soap but didn't help! What should I do???I have a mild rosacea?
If even water makes your face red it's more than mild rosacea. You can take medication for it, Clonidine is one.

Desonide Lotion for rosacea?

I went to the dermatologist today and found out I have rosacea. I'm only 16 and he said there isn't a cure and the only thing he could give me was Desonide Lotion 0.05% and he told me not to use it daily. Has anyone ever used this for rosacea? and did it work? how often should I use it?





Thanks in advance.Desonide Lotion for rosacea?
the newest TV ad for rosacea is doxycline which is vibramycin only it's being advertised under a different name. at one point, they were using flagyl for this, get a second opinion. it's not in their interest to cure you, but to keep you coming back! cause there is never an emergency dermatology consult and they rarely take call. poor things.

Do you have rosacea? Perhaps I am not spelling it correctly.?

I have a redness on my face over both cheeks and nose. It becomes irritated with some skin cleansers and from anything with SPF in it. Anybody care to comment?Do you have rosacea? Perhaps I am not spelling it correctly.?
You can get good information at:

Its an allergy...
Yes, be careful and don't SCRUB on your face. The way I understand it, those are broken blood vessels in your face.





My sister gets that when she has a drink of booze, go figure. My first cousin , and HER daughter both have it. My sister took after my dad's side, which the first cousin came from. Do you have relatives that have it?





I figure, a good base will even out your skin tone. I have a little on my left side only!. I use base by ARBONNE. Omigosh, it is sssoooooo light on your skin, just BARELY there, but, it corrects my skin tone, which is olive-like.
It's probably rosacea (I think you spelled it right). If not, might be an allergic reaction, or mild acne. Go to a dermatologist so they can prescribe something.
a woman that i work with had rosacea for a while... go see a dermatologist and they can help you to get it under control. they told her that it was her reaction to stress... i don't know about that part, i'm simply relaying info. good luck, ma'am!
i had it when i came back from school camp but that was 20 year ago. i think my mum just put calamine lotion all over me it itched like hell but i havent ever got it back so no idea how i got it or what caused it, is it def that you have - see your doctor he will confirm and treat as should be
You drink too much beer.
