Hi Artist & Chris,

I had gotten some samples from my derm of Finacea and didn't really ever give
them a chance. What exactly is Finacea supposed to treat? P&p's, redness Lumpy
skin? Depending on what it treats I may try it again. I think I'm impatient
and don't give meds a good chance of working before I say oh this doesn't work
and toss them!
Thanks, Lee

Subject: [rosacea] Re: stinging with Finacea


Hi Chris: I've had very good results overall with Finacea and I've
been using it for two months. It stung a LOT for the first week or so,
and I only experience a little stinging once in a while now after I
apply it. It seems like it only stings now if my rosacea is acting up.
So, for example, if I eat a spicy meal and my skin becomes a little
sensitive, I know the Finacea may sting it a little when I apply it
that night. It makes sense that it might sting a little if my skin is
in a sensitive state. The stinging doesn't make my skin worse,
however. The Finacea helps it overall, regardless of any periodic
stinging it may cause for me.

Is this what you experience as well?

Cheers!

Artist
