Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Hi I have suffered with seb derm, used steroid creams which has now given me steroid rosacea. I am using Protopic to great effect to keep the seb derm under control and I have been undergoing Photoderm sessions here in the UK. I have had a total of 7 treatments now at great expense and initially it helped to lighten my skin, it was less red.It didn`t however stop me from flushing so I couldn`t exercise etc.... I can`t remember what setting the 6 treatments were at but last Friday I had my 7th treatment where the doc used the 590 filter to go deeper. He was initially reluctant as he said on one patient he used the 590 it had brought back a lot of his redness...but we went ahead. Today my skin is still red, but I expected this as it always is red, but I`m flushing more, the redness shows no sign of fading and I have pustules back...great.....is this normal, or have I just wasted a serious amount of money?
