Hi,



I am currently suffering from a really bad case of steroid induced

rosacea.  I've never had anything like this before and I am wondering

if this will ever clear up.  I've been on minocycline and metrogel

for about 4 weeks and it has gotten a lot better, but I am still

worried if the redness will ever go away.  At first it was really

swollen and blotchy and now it is just red.  I've always had some

eczema on my body and I guess I have some seborrheic dermatitis on my

face as well, which originally caused me to put topical steroids on

my face.  So if anyone has any advice on how long it will take to

clear up if it does and anything else I can do to help I would

greatly appreciate it.



Thanks,

Henry

hi everyone,



do u know something about steroid rosacea, i have suffered rosacea for

several years but it goes so quite flushings not shown in some patient

photos. My doc gave me steroid creams to prevent flushing, redness and

pimples addition for years ago and advised me about using it harmless ,

but in fact it caused rosacea thin skin and sensitive blood vessels,

nowadays knowledge can warm us to use long term steroid creams.And due

to my dermotologist we have to learn to live together with this fact.

But i read an article of a survey which tells rosacea can be treated

but can not be cured, under this statement told an other topic about

steroid rosacea'' it can be cured'' and steroid rosacea is occur due to

long term usega of steroids. I would like to ask if any one knows

anything about this kind of rosacea



best regard

I first notice that something was wrong with my skin

in 2003. Had had red blotchy skin that would not go

away, I went to the dermatologist, and he prescribed

Desowin (a steroid).  I worked initially for about 1

month, then all of a sudden I was having large

breakouts of papules.  It has been nearly 4 years, and

I am still struggling with the papules.  I really do

not get the red blotchy skin or flushing, just the

papules which I truley believe was caused by the

steroid.  So I do not believe steroid induced rosacea

is cureable.  I often wonder what my symptoms today

would be if I was never prescribed the steroid.

when i gave up steroids 8 months ago after a long term of usage, my face, under

control of steroids was cool and better but i realised my skin had been getting

so sensitive under sun shower. and i suffered 4 months to ged rid of the redness

and flshing, i apply trilogy combination and it worked and still works for my

face now i can look at the mirror and love my face i also have  limited pimples

little pimples but redness has gone away and my skin is oily now. I apply

antiredness cream at first in the morning and int the evening

   and after apply a 45 no sun bath cream and then use a pimple cream on it, But

i believe every treatment varies from skin to skin. I wish not to deal so much

with my face.:)
