Is Finacea Helpful with Sebaceous Hyperplasia?

June 17, 2013
Asked By:SLD48 in New York, New York

I have mild Rosacea on my cheeks. I use Finacea at night on my cheeks to keep the pimples and bumps away. It has been effective. If I use the Finacea on my forehead will it help the Sebaceous Hyperplasia? I do plan to get the sebaceous hyperplasia treated by my Dermatologist. She recommends Electrocautery but her first available appt is not until August. I was wondering if Finacea would help at all in the meantime?
