Hi there! Ive had subtype 1 rosacea primarily with constant erythema to one cheek more than the others and constant flushing. My dermatologist recommended accutane. Will this help my redness, flushing and mild swelling (to my one cheek/ that flushes)? Thanks so much!!
After my second cycle the redness appeared AFTER I stopped taken accutane, while on it my skin tone was normal and there was no redness. The redness stayed until I started my 3rd cycle and once I stared it the redness went almost completely away but once I finished with the cycle the redness returned. After 3 months with redness I went to the dermatologist and he gave me a foamy steroid cream meant for people with rocsea... it did nothing. I'm 15 months post accutane and it hasn't gone away.
Ive been on accutane which is low dose 10mg a day for mild acne and stopped right now for few days and ive appiled more topical tretinoin for redness next day my skin is very sensitive and red ,flaking im currently using hydrocortisone cream for my irritated skin my cheeks looks like rosacea very irritated plz help me i cant tolerate
After being on every antibiotic under the sun, my dermatologist has recommended 10/20mg of Isotretinoin twice a week. My problem is that I have tried it before, but only for a week or two; my symptoms worsened: extreme redness and flushing, greasy look, and spots everywhere. My question is, are these just temporary side effects and will the rosacea eventually improve? How long should I wait? I am really getting desperate- nothing else works for me, including lasers. Thanks
I am going on low dose accutane for type 1 rosacea with mild swelling. I believe I have KP or PD as well. Will accutane make these worse or help? Will it actually reduce my facial swelling? Im a little afraid to go on it but desperate for better skin and no swelling,
Around 5-6 months post accutane. When I got off accutane my skin was great, no unusual redness. About 2 months ago I started waking up with red cheeks, however this would fade after an hour or so. Now this redness is there when I wake up and persists 24 hours of the day and gets much worse after exercise and other known rosacea triggers. There are little bumps which I think may be causing the redness I'm not sure. My dermatologist said this was not rosacea, however I disagree
Hi I have rosacea, oily skin and mild acne. I've had it under control the past year using a salicylic acid lotion and finacea. I struggled previously with these and was on antibiotics for a year. Now I have tiny little bumps forming all over my forehead. They're incredibly itchy. Along with a itchy scalp. I think it's Pityrosporum Folliculitis. What are the treatment options ? I know this disease has a high relapse rate so I'm worried. Has anyone had success treating this without relapse ?
My dermatologist recently suggested Accutane for my rosacea (flushing and lesions). I can't take antibiotics, they give me significant GI issues. Have tried topicals. My question is whether the acne will come back after I stop the Accutane. She suggested a very low dose for a year, and I know that the overall dose that is given is most important in terms of whether acne comes back. My acne is not that severe, but unfortunately it is getting worse slowly and I don't have many other options.
I am a female, 62 years of age. Since age 11 I have had EXTREMELY oily skin on my face and neck. I have blackheads and pimples on all of my face, not just the T-zone and it is really very frustrating and uncomfortable-I have been using retin a gel for years, and it helps a little. I also use metrogel on my nose for rosacea-HELP!!!
I'm 43 yo and I've tried Doxy(6yrs), metrogel, Soolanta, Azelex.I began Myorisan 20 mg qd. 9 wks ago. I saw improvement after wk 3 and was very pleased up through wk 7.I had some of the drying of lips, skin, and hair which is to be expected.Around wk 8, I noticed to be producing an increase of sebum again. It was like it was I was taking the doxy and barely maintaining.My face has recently started showing eruptions again.I did mention the increase of oil last visit.Any advice prior to my f/u?
