[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, 
I've struggled with rosacea for years and it got progressively worse from redness to papules. Last summer, after  a year of horrible breakouts on my nose and red, raw irritated skin, I saw a new derm. She prescribed antibiotics (for 2 months) and a switch from metrogel to soolantra. My papules/breakouts have disappeared! I also swear my gut issues are better (read about gut inflammation/SIBO and rosacea to see if anthhing resonates with you). I also think that soolantra is better equiped to deal with demodex mites, which are thought to cause or exacerbate rosacea in some people. I also washed/changed my pillow case every2/3 days for the first month.

Yes, IPL helps, but first get on a round of antibiotics. Then try soolantra--I got a discount card from my derm, which took the price from over 100$ to 35$ and I've used less than half a tube since late July.

I still deal with itchiness, sensitivity and some flushing--I am trying to cut inflammation producing foods from my diet. and, I wash with cetaphil once   a day and use a very healing rich cream at night (epionce medical barrier) and just a light moisturizer during the day (dermalogical active moist). Also, throw out all your make up and old brushes, etc. I bought new, mineral based powder foundation and use a clean cotton puff daily to apply.
