Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hi! I was diagnosed with rosacea in the beginning of May and was given metrocream. About a month into the treatment of using it faithfully twice a day, I still had major facial burning and itching. It stayed throughout the day. I called my derm to see if this was OK and she said that it could take up to six months to work and to adjust my dosage according to how my face feels. I tried once a day, once every other day, everything imaginable but my face still flares and burns everytime I put it on. Can some people just not tolerate the metro? Should I continue trying it? I'm worried that the awful burning feeling is permanently damaging my skin. Has anyone else had a similar situation? On a good note, though, I just tried Dermatologica's ultra calming cleanser and it didn't irritate my skin at all. Whoever suggested it is my new favorite person. I spend so much money trying new products and I'm hoping this was the last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 I had a bad reaction to the metrolotion (waaaay too greasy for me) so my derm switched me to metrogel and I haven't had a problem since.

I am now on my 2nd tube of MetroCream... I've had no negative side affects from it, but I've not seen where it's done anything other than moisturize my face either. I use it on my whole face, twice a day, morning and night. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
