Type 2 and 1 rosacea please help š
SpoilerROSACEA SUCKSIf youāre in the UK consider dermaticaās rosacea formula! It has metronidazole, ivermectin and niacinamide. And itās super gentle - love it. I think the ivermectin would be really helpful for you!
It look like metro is helping but not quite clearing it up, ask your GP to let you try Soolantra, the active ingredient is ivermectin which is great for pustules.
ivermectin (soolantra) should clear up what metro can't
Azeliac acid, my rosacea is just like yours and Iāve been using it for a week or so and the redness is almost gone and the texture is way better. And that sulphur soap bar is rly drying I found so Iād get a rly plain hypoallergenic moisturiser and put that on religiously or the dryness actually makes the redness worse, once the redness dies down pop some benzoyl peroxide wash on to get rid of the spots
Whatās your diet like?
Well as I suffer from this MONSTER I realized that in rosacea especially like yours and mine ( very inflamed congested pors red skin ) Topical are useless and most likely will increase the papules and pore size.
You have two options :
1) take all your topicals , creams, gel etc to a lovely one way trip to the garbage šļø then ask any doctor ( GP ) to start you on minocycline for 2 months AND use a tinted rosacea friendly fragrance and oil free sunscreen and you will get HUGE SKIN IMPROVEMENT
2) SAME AS ABOVE BUT INSTEAD OF MINOCYCLINE USE ISOTRETINOIN PRESCRIPED BY DERMATOLOGIST
Soolantra saved me
IvermectinĀ
