Hi guys,

For those who asked, I am using the cea LTD III discs. I am currently

using the extra sensitive ones, pink and brown. I have used Noritate and

antibiotics in the past with no luck. And yes i have used steroid cream too.

It seems like all the derms must have benn taught that this was appropriate

for the big R. I used aloe gel for about a year before the ltd discs with

good luck, then just stopped working. It seems like many people just go from

one thing to another, like many things work...for awhile...then stop and we

move on? Wonder what that means? IO have been using the LTD discs for about

6 weeks. They really improved my redness, basically was gone. Skin felt alot

better, lesss sensitive and all. But all along it never really stoppped the

sores. It did help them heal fister i think. Anyway, about a week ago I

really flares and broke out. So I just happened to be seeing my internist

for my annual appointment this past Monday. I discussed with her my probs

and told her I had seen 2 derms already. And both had basically never told

me my diagnosos, i found out by looking up the Noritate cream on the

internet. She suggested I see yet another derm for a definitive diagnosis

and go from there. So we'll see. She said my face looked as though it had a

secondary bacterial infection. She put me on minocycline and gave me metro

gel. So far I am doing ok. Still some breakouts but I am drying up from the

gel. Get to see the new derm on the 19th. Will be interesting to say the

least. Good luck guys, the LTD is worth a try i think especially if redness

and seisitivity are your main probs. BTW, the pink disc stings like crazy

and I called them and they said that was a common problem and some people

have to use the brown disc only. I found that interesting since the brown

says it is many times stronger.But it is much better, guess its just a

different formula. Take care all!
