Is Finacea Helpful with Sebaceous Hyperplasia?

SLD48Jun 17, 2013
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?

Hi Pierotti.  Are there any small blood vessels present in the cheeks?  Even though you are not 21, if you have ever drank alcohol, do you flush at that time?  Does spicy food cause flushing?  In addition to nervousness, cold weather and exercise, these are all triggers for...
