Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 Hi, Jill, well, normally I'd say try the metronidazole 2% gel , like it mentioned in the study, but maybe you have an inherent allergy to it.Maybe you also have a bit of seborrheic dermatitis, which is caused by a skin fungus, and this would be worse after an antibiotic like metronidazole. So, in your case I wouldn' try it, or only a tiny amount and see what happens. Good luck, Annie Original message: Sent: Monday, November 27, 2000 8:47 AM Subject: Ocular cea Hi Annie, I wanted to ask you about the Demodex theory in relation to the eyes. I have had cea of the face for about 10 years and to the eyes for about 4 years. I have managed to control the facial symptoms to a certain degree through chinese herbs and diet. However nothing I have done makes any difference to my eyes. In desperation 4 weeks ago I took Doxycycline (50 mg once a day) but only managed to take them for 2 weeks because of the side affects. Would applying Metronidazole gel to the eye lashes be something that you would recommend? I notice on the tube I have of this at home that it says do not put near eyes and I know when I have used this before on my cheeks the area around the eyes always seems redder. I look forward to hearing from you. Jill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
