Comment on Oracea to replace Periostat, new rosacea treatment launched by Brady Barrows

David P,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have been trying to collect statements of users of long term Oracea or low dose doxycycline and this thread is a wealth of such users including you, which you are probably one of the longest users I have found yet. Probably there may be longer users but you are in the top ten. So did you ever wean off doxycycline or are you still on doxycycline? You weren’t clear about this. And when you get off of doxycycline, like forget to take it or not take it for a while does your rosacea immediately come back or does it take a while to come back? What happens if you stop taking doxycycline? Or if you are off it what is your current regimen now? Thanks.

Comment on Sebclair launches as Promiseb Cream by Erik

I have been using Promiseb for about a week so far. It seems to be working well around my nose, but every once in a while I get a strong smell that smells like an ashtray. Ever heard of that before? Is there an ingrediant that might cause that?

This (thing of exreme inconvenience) has made me lose my damn mind! I’m delusional, can’t get a job, can’t be a man, and can’t get laid. I just Loooovvve shooting looks too. It truly has ruined my life. I’m about to turn to medication, Xanex, Collatapins, and pain pills that will soon lead me spiraling out of control completely. Please…..what do I ever do? = )

Comment on rosacea sufferers have more anxiety and depression by Christina St. Clair

The ocular rosacea worried me the most.
My eyes not only looked red, they hurt.
I began to worry if there was something I was not “seeing” in my life.
I made a decision to leave a job that was causing me a lot of stress, and that I had unrealistic aspirations about.
It has been a little over 7 months since I moved on from that job, and not only have I gained insight about the previous job situation, the ocular rosacea has gone away.

So, is there anything in your life you need to look at deeply? What are your dreams? What do you love to do and hope for? Make changes towards your real aspirations, hopes, dreams…

Comment on rosacea sufferers have more anxiety and depression by susanne

Hi all,

I must say I have been suffering from anxiety all my life, but since I have developed a form of rosacea including ocular problem which is only reduced when I take minocyclin I feel much much worse, making me feel insecure even with my nearest and dearest, my boyfriend. I simply cannot imagine how anyone can possibly like to kiss somebody with such a face. Even my best girlfriend couldnt help saying that NOW I do look really not very attractive. I used to be considered as that by her …
It is like having lost my face, not being able to go out and show my face really to others.
If that is not causing depression and anxiety, what is?
I had problems with acne when I was young, and suffered from psoriasis and allergic eccema. But all this did not have the same severe effect on my emotional stability as now rosacea.
I just wish so much that some day I wake up to find my skin is clearing up again, just as all the other skin problems did. They suddenly ceased to exist.
I am very doubtful that depression causes rosacea, for me it is the other way round.
But I may be seeing it very one-sidedly..
Susanne

Shoo I can recommend this brush to anybody – it’s true
what they say you buy products and all sorts of things thinking it will help. This brush even helps for pigmentation marks my marks have gone lighter I’ve used it just for a week. It is amazing I hoping to order more facial products from them as I am in South Africa..

Comment on Photos of Red Nose, Papules, Pustules, acne like rosacea by Christina

I just started using Emu oil on my acne scars and every morning when i wake up it looks like the redness has gone away a little bit. It’s been two days since i’v been using it. I am breaking out a little bit by my jaw bone but i dont think its from the oil…it could be though. I didn’t know about this lotion till i went to a supplement store looking for pre- workout and the lady that works there said a dermotologist came in there and told her about that lotion and they sell it that she told me about it and i gave it a try ill let you guys know how it goes.

Comment on demodex mites treatment by Megan

I got the kids to the doctor and they have seborreic dermatitus apparently. However I did order some items off of demodexsolutions.com. As soon as they arrived the web site is gone and I can’t get ahold of anyone to discuss return. Has anyone ordered this stuff or worked with the company? Is it a rip off?

Comment on Photos of Red Nose, Papules, Pustules, acne like rosacea by PK

I have got same problem on nose since 5-6 yrs. I tried almost all different type of treatment available in the market. I just got fed with this problem as this is on my nose and sometime it comes as a big pimple on my nose even more worse as i seen in some photo. I consulted with my GP. Actually, even he was not any idea what it is Rasc… or acne. He recommended me Isotrtenoin , i tried it for 2 week. But i realised it had more side effects than any good effect. I didn’t find any difference after finishing with this treatment. GP Dermatologist doesn’t have to recommend after this . I am looking to go some private clinic like skin clinic for laster or microdermasion or any suitable treatment for my skin. I would like to ask other friend who are facing same problem that whether this type of treatment is really effective or not it is just waste of money.
Thanks
