34 Year Old Suffering with Acne and Rosacea

WORTH IT

After 9 months of following Dr's Reschly treatment I can't complain much about my face skin. 1.5 years ago out of a sudden started breaking out like a teenager, but being in my 30ish I was diagnosed with rosacea and acne, the medication he prescribed and the topical creams worked like a charm, I could see improvement after 2 months. For the ones out there with rosacea and acne issues, this is not an over night results, requires patience and keep taking the antibiotic everyday for the time prescribed.

It's been 9 months and my skin is looking better and better and acne free, 1 or 2 pimples every now and then (when on my period) but nothing like the rash looking like face I had, am glad I stick to my treatment and now I am enjoying the results. My confidence is better and I don't need a tone of foundation and powder to cover all the acne and rosacea i had. Below a picture of my before and after treatment. Thank you Dr. Reschly

it's been 9 months, I should have updated this way before, I started seeing results in couple months, at 5 - 6 months all acne and rosacea were gone, but I still had some acne flat scars (reddish stains), now after 9 months, it is almost all gone, I may have a few little flat acne scars that are still fading, but it hasn't been a year yet, Dr Reschly said to wait a year to see the full results, I still see the improvements. I am happy with the treatment results. Along my treatment he prescribed antibiotic Solodyn 80 mg and Solodyn ER 105 MG, now I don't even take it daily, just every 3 days and still see good results I am suppose to keep taking them for a year, well it hasn't been a year yet, but my skin is practically clean. Antibiotic barely gave me a side effect, and nothing to really complain about, another prescription Dr. prescribed was a gel that I LOVE "ACZONE GEL" 7.5% very good topical gel, worked pretty fast, expensive if insurance does not cover, but I guess a coupon is available, really worth it. Overall I am happy with my results, despite I read some reviews about some people not being that happy with solodyn due to the side effects, to me didn't cause much at all, and also about the reviews that after stopped taking solodyn they started back to break out with a vengeance, well hopefully that won't be my case, so far I am happy!

Rosacea plus acne ugh

I went to my appointment with Dr. Matthew last 22nd Nov and he said that my case seems to be a combination of rosacea plus acne, while I though that rosacea mainly affect caucatians I guess affects tan skin latinos too, lucky me :(
At his office after hearing the word rosacea at first I was in a kind of denial because I am 34 and I did not have that before only acne in my teens and middle 20's then it went away after treatment.
When I arrived home inspected my acne face through the mirrow and I did notice some spots with no pimple or bumb that is just kind red or pink like small stains of dark pink that just been there for months and has not been going away at all ,just getting worse.
Well Dr. Have prescribed me Solodyn (Minocycline HCI, USP) 80MG and since I asked if a topical cream may help too he prescribed Clindamycin phosphate topical solution USP, 1% pledgets. He told me that im couple weeks i would start to see some improvement, well it hasn't be a week yet since i started taken the antibiotic, and the topical haven't used it yet but tonight i will if i don't forget, so just waiting for that Solodyn to start making effect.
I'll be posting pics in a month or couple weeks if am lucky to see improvement that early.

Just read your post. I'm going through the pimple nightmare as well. Wondering how you have been after your treatment. I will be seeking help soon because non of the at home remedies are working for me either. Thanks for the info!

Sorry I seen your post so late, the medication worked for me it definitely cleared my face I took solodyn or minocycline the generic brand for around 3 years the 1st year every day, but the next following 2 years on and off, I wasn't breaking out too often as initially, nowadays I am not taking any pills for my hormonal acne, I decided to quit dairy and it suddenly fixed the whole acne situation. I didn't know I was kind allergic to dairy. Hope you found a solution.
