Greetins all,

Just a quick post and one similar to something that was posted a few
years ago. If your Rosacea does not seem to improve or seems a
little out of whack have it checked again.
To make a long story short, I was diagnosed with Rosacea by two
Dermatologists last fall, got the meds, the oral antibiotics etc. I
recently made an appointment for lazer treatment but ended up having
a punch biopsy to my scalp and to my face instead(no fun). It turns
out it is Discoid Lupus...lucky for me it is only on the superficial
layer of skin and is not internal (less than 5% of the people with
Discoid Lupus get Systemic Lupus as well). So, the $150.00 tubes of
Finacea and Metrogel are now in the closet along with the oral
antibiotics. Course of treatment, cortisone cream, TONS of sun
block,hats and cortisone injections to the rash sights(OUCH). HUGE
IMPROVEMENT with the correct diagnosis and the right meds. So, if it
isn't working invest in a second opinion. With that said I wish you
guys all the best of luck in getting your Rosacea under control and a
bigger wish that soemthing turns up that would take care of all skin
problems (yes I am an optimist).
