Diagnosed with rosacea about 6 months ago. Using metrogel, have tried antibiotics, don't tolerate them. Tried propanolol for flushing, and isn't working. Skin has dramatically worsened in just 2 months, and nothing helps anymore. My derm suggested Accutane, but I'm a little hesitant. I was curious about trying IPL and I know you're not supposed to get IPL for awhile after using Accutane or while you're on it. Which would you try first? I have pretty sensitive skin, if that changes your answer.
