Guest guest Posted February 17, 1999 Report Share Posted February 17, 1999 Hello everyone. I have been looking at the posts for several days now, very interesting and helpful. I was diagnosed with rosacea about 10 years ago and have been on and off antibiotics and I feel they to more harm than good. I also was using metrogell, but that was irritating my skin. The dermotologist switched me to metrocreme but that did not make it any better. I have not been back to the derm for several months because I don't want to go back on antiobiotics or use the creme or gel and those seem to be the only treatments that the derms give. It was suggested to me to try taking evening primrose oil. Two 500mg twice a day. I went to my local health food store and they were very helpful. They agreed that the evening primrose oil should help, but that I probably will not see results for 5 to 6 months. I figure what have I got to lose it has only been 10 years. I was also wondering about something I have not seen addressed, I am now almost 50 years old (ugh!) and have been experiencing hot flashes and so I feel that this has aggrevated my cea. Any one else experiencing this? Priscilla ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
