Gyne-Lotrimin7 (Clotrimazole 1%) alleviates rosacea?

[Guest guest]

All these years I've been using it as a desert topping;

now I find out it may be good for rosacea! :-)

But, seriously, did you also have the facial redness (mask)?

Does it have any other anti-inflammatory ingredients ( to your

knowledge)?

I realize I'm putting myself out on a limb here, but here goes:

I've suffered from a skin condition variously diagnosed by

traditional Western doctors as eczema, psoriasis, and most recently,

rosacea, for years. As you may know, Western medicine offers various

palliative treatments, but no cures for this condition.

Recently I found some advice in a column in the Monthly Aspectarian

by Louise L. Hay, a metaphysical teacher and author of various books,

including " You Can Heal Your Life, " " Empowering Women, " and " Letters

to Louise. " A reader asked Louise what to do about psoriasis. She

replied, " I've learned that psoriasis is one of the common symptoms

of the Candida yeast syndrome, which is so prevalent. Starches, all

forms of sugar, and even fruit, are what Candida albicans feeds on.

Hay House has just published a new book called 'The Body Knows,' by

medical intuitive Caroline M. Sutherland, that addresses this

topic... "

Well, this was news to me. Putting two and two together, I figured if

rosacea was caused by a yeast infection, and Gyne-Lotrimin7

(clotrimazole 1%, the over-the-counter, 7-day treatment for vaginal

yeast infections) kills yeast, then using Gyne-Lotrimin7 as a cream

on my face might help. Duh...

So I tried it. I have to say I felt completely ridiculous putting

vaginal cream on my face... But after a couple of days the " rosacea "

that had been hanging in there stubbornly for a month or so (despite

daily treatments with the prescription cream Diprolene AF 0.05%,

which is, according to my doctor, heavy on the side effects) seems to

have cleared up almost completely.

So maybe it's true that rosacea is caused by Candida albicans. If so,

long term, it seems the diet recommended by Louise Hay (low starch,

low sugar) might prevent rosacea from recurring. Short term, Gyne-

Lotrimin7 seems to control the symptoms.

I'm extremely curious about this thing now. Is rosacea caused by a

yeast infection? How about eczema and psoriasis? Will other people

have the same results with Gyne-Lotrimin7 as I did?

So I'm putting the info out there on the world wide web, with the

hope that others will tell me their experience along these lines. If

you're trying Gyne-Lotrimin7 on my say-so, though, please consult

your doctor first and make sure they approve. I'm not a doctor, just

a do-it-yourself health care, ordinary person.

If you would like to tell me whether Gyne-Lotrimin7 alleviates your

rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, you can fill out my online poll at

http://www.2u3d.com/rosacea/.

I'll publish the overall results of this survey on this web site, so

everyone will know. Rest assured that your name and email address

will remain completely confidential, and will not be revealed or sold

to any third party.

Hi,

I used to read the aol rosacea support list, and people there

recommended otc anti-yeast vaginal creams to use on their faces to

get rid of seb derm. I think a couple people used Lamisil on their

faces as well. (Lamisil relieves athletes foot.) Seb derm is caused

by a yeast-like fungus, and it does make sense to go after the fungus

that is causing the seb derm to occur.

I'm sure many of you know that Metrogel started as a medication to

clear up yeast infections in women. Galderma say that Metrogel is an

anti-inflammatory though it doesn't do anything for seb derm.

However, it did (& does) cure vaginal infections, so there has to be

some connection somewhere. It would be nice to know what it was

though!

Take care and thanks for posting that!
