What was the result of this, did it work on any of your patients?

Comment on just how do you kill demodex mites ? by Mike Marca

Mike Marca — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:41:09 +0000

Hello again. My shift changed over the summer. So I was not able to do too much on line. What I am doing is working some #289 this page, enough to keep the mites at bay (to keep my eyebrows, keep the rosacea down, and to keep the mites out of my eyes). I did try Permethrin once and it did not work for me. Mike

Yup – Pretty much as clear as I’ve ever been. A pustule once in a while but tiny. I did notice that after three weeks away on my boat in the islands here in the Northwest even my color returned to 100% normal which is very confusing. Perhaps just relaxing? or lots of salt water? or too much beer. One will never know.

Al,

Has your condition been holding up? Still 99% clear of rosacea or has some of it come back since?

Comment on Sebclair launches as Promiseb Cream by Amilee

I’ve been using Promisehb for 14 days now. For the first 4 days it made my skin much, much worse. It has slowly been drying up the blisters (or whatever you might call the pimple-type irritation) and the itchiness has lessened.

It seems to make the blisters worse at first then better as the day goes on.

I’m disappointed that it hasn’t been more effective, but I’m hopeful.

for the past 2 years I’ve been using Nystatin, which actually kept it at bay for a while – even cleared it up for a couple months. But it came back b/c I stopped applying.

I didn’t know it was a sort of skin condition. I thought I’d just contracted something from someone.

Has anyone else has this worse-before-better reaction to Promisehb?

Hi again Kim,

Thanks so much for your response. It really helps knowing that there is a support group such as this.
I am going to try a few new things as well, I will post these after I have given them time to work. I am also looking into IPL therapy (I have seen before and after pictures and the results look good). If this is something I do I will also post the results of these. I have used metrocream in the past and found it didn’t work for me. I also had a bad reaction to tea tree oil. I have itchiness as well and was told that this was because of the menopause.
Lots of luck to you and thanks again for all the advice and the article.

Comment on cutanix goes offline, gets letter from FDA by Donna

Hey Tom,
How about a review of the new Serum?
My antibiotic, Oracea 40mg on an empty stomach, daily, is keeping the bumps under control but the redness is still a big problem.

Hi Theresa,

My rosacea also started about a year ago and I am also perimenopause. I have been officially diagnosed with rosacea but will can not get into see another dermatologist until May 2011 for a second opinion. I have broken veins in the cheeks, redness, papules (pimple like things), thickening of skin at times and itching (which not too many people complain about). The metrogel worked well with the pimple like things and took the severe bright redness out of my cheeks, as well as, took away the itch. I have switched to metrocream as I also suffer from sensitve dry skin. It does not help much. I have used cortisone cream for 2 or 3 days when nothing else helps (as this is bad I know). It concerns me about the veins as they are more permanent and they come up very quickly for me.

I have found a great foundation and now nobody hardly notices, which makes me feel better. I have been very frustrated and have stopped all prescription meds at the moment. I recently purchased Jamienson vitamin e cream (which stung the first few times I applied it) and am only using it with zinc oxide (penetan cream). It seems to be helping. LOL. Good Luck. It looks like there are no miracle answers.
