I used Noritate while I was in USA. Now I live in Qatar, I searched most pharmacies for any metronidazol cream, they can’t find it. 2 tears ago I was able to find Dumazol in Qatar.

Can you supply a name of the product in this region?
thanks

Hi Stephanie,

Here is one study that found that metrogel also works for seborrheic dermatitis.

You are right that steroids are not a viable long term treatment for rosacea.

Have you tried any of the antifungal treatments like ketoconazole to treat your seborrheic dermatitis ?

hope this helps,
davidp.

Please answer me on my e-mail though you may include my question in the website if you wish. I will get the answer more quickly via e-mail.

Is metrocream helpful to seborrheaic dermatitis of rosacia? Can it irritate the seborrhea? My doctor prescribed a steroid for my seborrhea related to rosacia. It clears it up completely but if I stop it, the seborrhea returns. I would rather use metrocream for which I have now gotten a prescription. It may be a better long term treatment for all of the rosacia related problems. I have some pimples occasionally but do not have lasting redness. I used to flush but no longer do.

Thanks,
Stephanie
