Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 Hey friends: Tom and bryian Que Pasa! are you going crazy? you are using strong steroids, cortizone is a great drug but only for some very special conditions and short periods of time and in rosacea is never for any reazon an indication, well maybe in rosacea fulminans only,cortizone is like the devil because is tentative but it is pretty much the worst thing you can do for your skin. Tom why were you using fluticazone for? Now just wait, some people use a mixture of tacrolimus ointment for the rebound effect of steroids, others use erhytromicine only, although tacrolimus and erhytromicine are related (macrolids) are diferent things better talk to your dermatologist. Did you get a shot of bethametazone bad idea unless you want a full moon red face with strech marks and troncal obesity with some bone tendency towards osteoporosis, sorry to be so negative but think about what you are doing to your bodys, it is always harder to correct the problem than to avoid it. Good luck. Dr Ian Alarcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
