Hi. I am a 41 yr old female and just been diagnosed with ocular
rosacea. I also have the redness all over my chin. I can live with
the redness. Its the pus and raised red itchy burning itchy bumps that
cover my eyes and that I am going nuts with. I am a military dependant
and so I must see a military dermtologist and I am very discouraged
because I am not getting any information nor any help from him
whatsoever. I am use to that because that is how most, not all, but
most military doctors conduct business. However, this is so foreign and
painful that I am at a loss. I am using antibiotic cream and my doctor
discussed oral antibiotics but did not prescribe them. I am to see him
again in 2 months but I am in so much pain with this burning and
itching that I don't know what to do. I called my doctor and left a
message to see if he would let me begin the oral antibiotic but he has
3 working days to call me back and that puts me into next week.
So my question is, is there anything herbal or otherwise that will help
relieve my symptoms or is this just something I have suffer with, just
my dermatologist as told me? I am desperate for help. If anyone has
any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi Gabriella, About Demodex I figure out it my self, because usually it comes along with Rosacea - there must be a connection. I was fighting extreme case of...
Lilly, Did you need a prescription for the medication you took for the parasite? Or is the Parastroy what you used? If it is, I will get some tomorrow. I...

Tetracycline doesn't treat Rosacea - it's just suppress it and that way makes it chronicle. I was on Tet for more then 3 years and in the end Rosacea adjust to...

Lilly, I am on board with you 100%. I don't know of any other bacterial infection that doctors prescribe antibiotics just to "suppress" it. Maybe there are...

One suggestion, for perhaps temporary relief, is to soak a washcloth in richly steeped chamomile tea. It's very soothing, calming and smells good to boot....
