Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 > did you have true rosacea, or was it more just eczema? > > Definitely not eczema, the doctor diagnosed it as cea back in 1996. At the time he said the glasses resting on my nose had caused it. I changed to contact lenses but the swelling and flare-ups remained. I was surprised this protopic actually cleared it up after all these years, the nose swelling had been really persistent. The instruction pamphlet only mentioned eczema. I did a web search and the only item I could find was a journal about success using protopic in treating steroid-rosacea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
