Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hi Jane, Can't give you a definite answer, but since stopping with steroids on my face, its has been getting better... just hope it keeps that way!! I used to use hydrocortisone 1%. But it seems to be an uphill and downhill adventure, I use Noritate and the brown rosacea III-ltd disk, to control flaring and seems to work. Keeps my face a nice light pink most of the time. I also use B5, EsterC, GSE, flax seed oil, claritin, and lots of water. Good luck! >I do hope some one there can give me a hint: >I did not have skin problem till last october, I stopped using HQRA Cream >to >get rid of my freckles ( It contains steroid).

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 In my case, it seems to help though of course, it doesn't stop me from flushing. But it reduces is a lot and sometimes shortens the time it would stay if I don't drink water. We are all differnt, aren't we? Re: suggestion needed: flushing all the time I found out that cold water and ice made my symptom worse. I am better now after I elimated all the ice.
