Steroid induced rosacea, HELP

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody:

I finally decided to join the group.

I have what the doctors called steroid induced rosacea. I am taking

Bactrim and using Metronidazole topical.

At the beginning was very bad, I am a lot better now but still getting

bumps in the area I applied the cortisone for more than a year!!

I can not believe I did not know the use of topical steroids in my

face was so harmful! I never heard of anything like that and when the

doctor prescribed me the steroid (desonide) for a minor rash in my

face, She never educated me on how to use it or for how long. And it

does not say anything in the tube!

We should make a request to the FDA to make the farmaceutical compnies

to write a warning in the steriod's tubes or bottles, like the warning

in the cigarrettes boxes!!

I have a question to the steroids rosacea sufferers out there:

Is it curable? Will I ever recover from this terrible mistake?

Looking forward for answers!!
