Do you mean like Vaseline? Before I ever heard of cea I

used to use Vaseline with vitamin E or even the baby Vaseline

cream or whatever it is and I really liked It But the other

day I tried the Vaseline with E and I was shocked at the

flaking I got. I couldn't tell if it was a reaction or if the

Vaseline had just removed dead skin.

I just don't get it, you won't try it, many people say it works, yet you

doubt it. Saying that based on the ingredients, it causes acne would be

like me saying based on your statement, you aren't a very bright person. If

you don't think it would work, don't

try it and don't bring everyone else down with you. We have

thousands and thousands of messages because no one knows what to do

about rosacea. GOLD BOND works.... I have about 50 messages from

people that say so. For those who are new and did not see my

earlier posts, here is a summary:

I have a remedy that has 99.9999% supressed rosacea for me. I hope it helps

you. I can say it has helped others but I've noticed that the people that

it does not help are those who combine my remedy with other lotions. Keep me

posted if you try it. Here is my post:

I read all these posts and it brings back all the memories I have of

cea. For over 2 years, I had the bumps, red cheeks, red chin, flaky

skin and burning sensation. I was embarassed to go to work or go out in

public sometimes. I would get questions like " what did you do this weekend,

go skiing? " or " Looks like you went to the beach " (sunburn look). I tried

many treatments. I paid for all of the doctor visits and the prescriptions

as the doctors guess and give me drug after drug. I tried different diets,

different soaps, different shampoos and different vitamins. I stumbled

across my treatment that works 99.9999% of the time. I haven't seen any

symptoms of rosacea in over 6 months and have been using this treatment for

over a year. The last time I had symptoms was the last time I forgot to

apply the lotion. This solution costs less than $5.00 and the $5 supply

lasts for months. I have had some people email me back saying that it

worked for them also. I am on a mission to let everyone know. By reading

all of these posts, I can see that these doctors really don't know what to

do with cea.

I was a long time sufferer of cea (for over 2 years). I had many

different types of treatments from a dermatologist. These treatments

included MetroGel, Nizoral, Cordizone shots and radiation treatment (xrays).

All of these treatments were UNSUCCESSFUL! I experimented with many

creams and lotions until I found a solution. So if your tired of the

comments of “did you go skiing this weekend” or “your sunburn looks bad”,

try my remedy.

Here is my home remedy:

Every night before bed and in morning after shower, I apply Gold Bond Lotion

in the affected areas (cheeks, eyebrows, nose and chin area). I carry Gold

Bond in small tube or bottle so I can apply to affected areas during day if

needed.

This routine has worked very well for me as the only flare-ups I have are

when I forget to apply the Gold Bond. When it does flare up, I apply the

Gold Bond and it goes away in a matter of minutes. If you try my remedy, I

would like to hear if it works for you. My email is snowskiman@....

You can buy Gold Bond lotion (http://www.goldbond.com/lotion.asp) at Walmart

or I guess any place that sells body lotion. I use the green bottle (for

itchy skin).

If the positive posts outweigh eachother by a ratio of 10 to 1 then

this must be some indicia of the ratio of those with rosacea without

acne prone skin to those with rosacea complicated by acne prone skin.

Maybe Menthol or Aloe Vera in the Gold Bond is some great

indgredient. The problem is that the gold bond vehicle is junk.

That true, pure and simple. It could work on some only because they

have super skin that is comedone resistant. Now, for the body, and

not the face, applying gold bond for its indicated use re: itching

would be fine.

Whatever one does, it would be best to patch test gold bond first, to

be sure they don't break out.

[Guest guest]

If the positive posts outweigh eachother by a ratio of 10 to 1 then

this must be some indicia of the ratio of those with rosacea without

acne prone skin to those with rosacea complicated by acne prone skin.

Maybe Menthol or Aloe Vera in the Gold Bond is some great

indgredient. The problem is that the gold bond vehicle is junk.

That true, pure and simple. It could work on some only because they

have super skin that is comedone resistant. Now, for the body, and

not the face, applying gold bond for its indicated use re: itching

would be fine.

Whatever one does, it would be best to patch test gold bond first, to

be sure they don't break out.
