antibiotics

[Guest guest]

I just went back to the dermatologist that recently diagnosed me with the

rosacea. I asked her about using oral antibiotics for the rosacea. She said that

they probably wouldn't help me that much because I don't have pimples. She said

that the oral antibiotics are mainly for the pimples not the redness and

flushing. All she suggested was to try the Noritate because she said it should

help the flushing/redness. Does anyone know if this sounds right? I am thinking

of getting another dermatologist, because it doesn't seem like this one wants to

work with me. I am very discouraged because I want to find something that helps.

This rosacea is hurting my self esteem. I also was at CVS the other night and

looked for zinc oxide. The closest that I could find to plain zinc oxide was

zinc oxide ointment, which did have other ingredients in it. Does anyone know if

they make plain zinc oxide and where I would find that? I know that they used to

use it as a sunblock, so it must be available somewhere.

Thanks,

everyone have a nice holiday!
