The derm I have used for 14 years put me on Metrogel as well as daily Oracea pills. Since Metrogel is drying, I question if anyone has tried Emu Oil 1-2 hours after applying gel?
What are you talking about?thx freddy. i do appreciate the comment but when you feel the way I feel that day... the last thing you think about is 'paragraph'. I was panicking that day and i could not think straight.

Rosacea has 4 different subtypes. You do not need to have pimples to have it. You may have the following which is the type I have.
Subtype 1: Facial Redness (Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea)
\t\t
Rosacea sufferers typically experience flushing and persistent facial redness. Small blood vessels may become visible in some patients, and stinging, burning, swelling and roughness or scaling may also occur.
I have learned to baby my sensitive skin to keep it calm. First, I cleanse with Cetaphil "Gentle Skin Cleanser" and tepid water. This is a non-sudsing cleanser. Then I have been using Replenix CF cream with great results. This cream contains caffeine which is a highly effective anti-inflammatory and constricts veins to minimize facial flushing.
Also, be careful not to rub your skin with harsh facial scrubs or wash cloths.
