Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 I've been lurking for a couple of weeks soaking up all the great info on this list. I'm a rosacea co-sufferer; my husband has it but is somewhat computer challenged, so here I am. We have been the route of most of you; several derms and many meds that have done little or nothing to help. The condition just continues to get worse and has been out of control for months. His nose and surrounding cheeks have been very red and swollen with many pustules. Thankfully, he doesn't have the flushing. About a week ago he began using Gold Bond lotion. The improvement is dramatic. His cheeks are almost back to normal. His nose is much less red and the pustules are almost gone. Swelling and papules are also going down. We are hopeful that the improvement continues. I know when he's applied it because he sits in front of the fan until the burning goes away. I'll report on this once in awhile to let you know how it goes. We got Dr. Nase's book which at the very least, helped us to understand this monster.
