Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 I am a LOT better because of Dr. Nase's book. Reading it was the best thing I have done for my rosacea.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Speaking from someone who has read the esteemed Dr. Nase's book, it did help me -- especially to develop my treatment philosophy of acne type rosacea as being caused, at root, by vascular abnormalities. One should note that Dr. Nase had more of a flush rosacea as opposed to acne rosacea, which I have. Therefore, his recommendations re: Tolerain Moisturizer should be disregarded by those with acne prone skin. I find especially useful are the sections on treating ocular rosacea with isotretinoin, it's only a paraphraph or where Kligman mentions treating ocular rosacea with Accutane 10 mg MFW. This is a true clinical pearl. It seems all signs point towards 5 mg/d. Ocular rosacea can be treated at this dose. The treatment recommendations for steroid acne are also 5mg/d. And Plewig says 2.5 to 5 mg/d for stage III rosacea. And, that Odom derm in San Fransico says 10 mg MWF or 20 mg biw. Clearly, the magic number is 5mg/d. Being that you do have acne prone skin, please try Gold Bond for two weeks and report back to the group. It would be great to know what happens! > Many thanks to snowski for his suggestion about Gold Bond.
