Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 I tried all of those. The antibiotics did nothing, the metro cream irritated me sometimes, and made me dry. The plexion burned the first time I used it. I am on to the next set of " alternative methods " described in Dr. Nase's book. Beta blockers and antidepressent. I see a slight improvement..not enough to live with this everyday. I plan to try clonidine next. Good luck to you. Antibiotics work for some people. Take Care.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Hi -- I'm not using exactly what you're using, but I am using the Plexion to wash with, once a day, at night. Then, I use Sy's vita oil, because I felt the Plexion was too drying. I use the oil morning and night. And, I'm taking Tetracycline 2x day (500 mg. each time). My skin is looking very good and my rosacea seems to be pretty controlled for now, so I am happy with these products. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Oops -- Did I mention the Noritate, once a day, at night, on top of the Vita Oil? I got distracted.

Although Plexion is new, its ingredients have been available for a long time. So your overall regime is quite common, and has a reasonable chance to making a difference to your symptoms, assuming of course that you can tolerate all the treatments. cheers, davidp. -- Pascoe, dp@..., South Perth, Western Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
