I had a lot of stinging with finacea when I first began to use it. I
almost quit because of it (I figured it must be harming my skin) but
now I feel that it has improved my skin quite a bit. Financea helps
to prevent my breakouts and when those are under control my skin is
less reactive overall. Five months does seem like a long time for it
to keep stinging. Are you getting any positive results from the
Finacea? I knew after about a week that it was improving my skin.
