Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Hi All, I'm new to the group and have been following your posts for about a day now with great interest. My current treatment is Noritate with Minocycline, which I started about a week ago. My doctor also recommended Plexion cleanser but said not to get it if the insurance didn't cover it so I didn't. I'm using Cetaphil and so far so good. I think I've had rosacea for some time, probably about 15 years (I'm 35 now), but it was not too bad until recently, when I finally couldn't take it anymore and realized what was happening to me wasn't normal. I can count on flushing about once a day, usually in the afternoon. I run once the sun goes down, about 7:40 here in Miami during this time of year. Although I run for about 45 minutes to an hour and do get over-heated, I've found exercise does not aggravate my rosacea as much as other triggers (sun, heat). My main concern is the burning and itching -- the redness I can live with. Since they go hand in hand, though, I can't exactly pick and choose. Thanks for all the great posts, Gloria Re: Re: GOLD BOND Hi. I've been using the Gold Bond lotion for sensitive skin (in the white bottle) for over a month now and am very pleased with the results. I have mild rosacea with very large pores, oily skin and flakes on one cheek. My pores seem smaller, my complexion is much smoother and less greasy and the flakes have decreased. I use it in the morning and before I go to bed. I also wash with Phisoderm at night and Cetaphil cleansing bar in the morning. The only makeup I use is Revlon's New Complexion Corrective Powder compact in the " even out " color, which has a yellowish tint to it.
