stinging with Finacea   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #101768 of 105071 |
Hi all,

I've been using Finacea for about 5 months. I still get that stinging
sensation from time to time after applying this topical. I know this
is common in the beginning phases of treatment, but wasn't sure if
it's common even with longterm use. Sometimes it doesn't bother me at
all, but at other times I have an uncomfortable sensation for about
20-30 minutes after applying. I suspect the discomfort level depends
on how my skin is doing at the time.

Is this the case with others?

Chris

Pretty sure it should not sting that long (20 min and 5 months later) -- the only possibility is that when you have rosacea problems, the stinging represents...
