My rosacea improve significantly after seb derm

Post by Experimenter999 »

I am a 75 y.o. white male with mostly good skin who's had moderate rosacea for several years.

A few weeks ago I came down with seborrheic dermatitis. My dermatologist suggested I trea it with ketoconazole 2%, which he'd previously prescribed for me.

I treated it for a week. After that, my seb. derm disappeared, and my rosacea seems mostly gone.

I have no idea why. And I previously tried to treat my rosacea with the ketoconazole, but it did nothing.

I have no idea why my rosacea is mostly gone, but I wonder if somehow the seb. derm had anything to do with it.
