Shantelle

Stieprox Liquid (also known as Loprox) is amazing for SD and is kind to even the most sensitive skin (I also have Rosacea and Stieprox doesn't cause any probs for me). I highly recommend it. I use it ...

Heya   Sounds like Type 1 Rosacea. Alcohol, stress, exhaustion, strenuous exercise are some of the most common triggers. You can find info via these links: www.rosaceagroup.org   Could als...

Thanks for the advice, Oil King. I didn't have any success in getting a beta-blocker. The doctor said that the flushing is not Accutane-related (I disagree) and that he thinks it's rosacea. He prescri...

Hi A New Start   Goodness, sounds like your Derm is pretty unfhelpful and isn't at all knowledgeable in isotretinoin side effects. Perhaps you'd have better luck with your GP. In my experience, G...

Hi Oli Girl   So glad to hear that some things have been relieved with Plaquenil, that is great news . To this day I'm still convinced Accutane induces autoimmune diseases in some people, maybe...

Shantelle- How are you doing????   Hi Oli Girl   Thanks for asking. I'm still in a very good phase sp pleased about that. No flushing issues, healed fine over the weeks post-vbeam non-purpu...

Hi Nick   Ok well first thing that I thought when viewed the pics was that your case visually looks like a mild case of Rosacea, so that is very good news. Especially as your Derm is unconvinced,...

hey dude, i didnt see this post when you posted it. Ive been to a derm many times, and he keeps saying it isnt rosacea. I dont really know what to think. He makes a compelling argument because he say...

  Can't open attachments.....  

Hi Nick   I have re-read your latest posts and can recommend a couple things that is likely to help improve things over time: 1. Get rid of the BP cleanser- harsh cleansers only seem to aggravate...

Hi A new start   All of us on this forum thread will likely be able to identify with what you are feeling. It is amazing how much Accutane side effects can significantly effect one's life. It do...

Hi everyone Just thought i'd post a quick update. Am feeling pretty good these days, and seem to be in remission for both the Rosacea and Lupus since end of November. I contribute it to a combo of thi...

Heya InDistress   Yeah Minocycline can cause horrible side effects. But i tried Doxy (another tetracycline) and never had any issues with it. You could always try Erythromycin (macrolide) for the...

i'm probably just very scared due to other side effects from accutane(which I took for only 9 days - it has passed almost 4 months after i stopped i have body hair loss, and very sensitive skin that s...

how can someone know if his/hers flushing is normal or accutane induced...? is there any difference?   Heya ivmi   If you mean what is the difference between typical Rosacea flushing and Ac...

Hi OliGirl   I hope the tests show there is definite improvement to your bones. That would be really great news. I will look out for your posts. Is there any test they can do to check if your joi...

So glad i found this thread i taught i was the only one with this problem.   My doctor put me on minocycline and i used 100mg for a couple of months near the end of the treatment i noticed very b...

Heya JT77 No definetly do not go back on isotretinoin; it's what induced the facial flushing issue in the first place. Going back on Accutane may help with the oil but look how much damage it's done t...

Hi healthyskin122- Good news that the flushing has lessened slowely since being on treatment. Maybe give this thread a good read; it'll take a few hours but you'll learn heaps about what others have t...

    How's Plaquenil working out? I hear there are side effects with it?  

Heya You should also get tested for autoimmune dosease. Most long term side effects are very lupus-like, e.g. hair falling out, rashes, joint pain, fatigue, migraines etc In fact, i'm ten 1/2 months p...

Heya I think if you/friends are already seeing signs that flushing and redness are receeding over time, then there is a good chance it will go away by itself. Best wishes, keep us updated... shantell...
