Dear Group--
I have read a couple of posts in recent weeks regarding how to get rid of (or
at least minimize) papules. I had managed to last a couple of weeks in
April on doxycycline, but after trying for nearly a month to rid myself of the
yeast infections brought on by the doxy, I would like to try some of the
alternative recommendations made online.
Two people recommended essence of lavendar and one of those two recommended
"high quality" apple cider as good for minimizing papules. There was at least
one other product recommended, but I cannot recall what it was.
I have a few questions: (1) Are the above recommendations for EXTERNAL
products to be applied topically or are they in capsule form to be taken
INTERNALLY? (2) Do any posters have brand names they will recommend for this
purpose? If so, what are those brand names and where can they be purchased?
(3)
What qualifies as "high quality" apple cider? (4) Does anyone have
recoomendations other than apple cider and essence of lavendar?
I would be most grateful for any advice I can get on this, since the papules
on my right cheek are unbelievably stubborn, and nothing seems to budge them.
Thanks,
Alice

i use Eye-scrub for my eyes when they feel awful....don't know if it's due to
dermites in the eyes or what. my eye doc said i don't have rosacea in the eyes.
But the eye-scrub really helps...it's from novartis i think.
so far the ipl has helped so much. i also have been using the metrogel and
benzoyl peroxide and also zovirax [which is a herpes/cold sore med].....but it
somehow helps my face stay clear.
anyway...still waiting on ingredients from walter.
bye for now , Emily

LT,
You are welcome.

Brady,
Excellent questions in your previous post. Give me a day or two to
organize my thoughts and present the latest findings in a readable an
orderly fashion.

Hi Everyone, I was wanting to comment on the Z creme. I started using it a few
weeks ago, with some facial peeling initially, but improvement to the pustules.
Hard to tell what was improving though because I was also taking Vit B5
supplements and Noritate. I forgot it on vacation and my face seemed to get
worse, even though I by then was on Monocycline. (The antibiotic by the way,
seems to make me feel awful, and hasn't really done much to help me). Am
wondering if the Z alone might work, and where is the article on Demodox being
the cause of Rosacea? Also, I cannot seem to find a laser physician in the
Boston area who has treated Rosacea. Any thoughts? Thanks, Courtney

You should know in two weeks or less if you see
improvement. The recommended treatment is
three months of Z cream. I still dab a little on
my nose and cheeks every night and I have been
using it for over 7 months. I mainly use it as a
maintenance regimen. It lasts a long time just
dabbing a little on that way.
Your first application should be light to see how
your skin reacts to the Z cream. You can then
gradually add more to your face. Let us know
how you respond to the Z cream?

Thanks, Brady - I'll let you know.

Hi Brady,
I've just started using the Z cream. The directions say to keep using it even if
your skin has cleared up and is no longer red after 3 -4 weeks, but it doesn't
say how long to keep using it. How long should I use it to make sure all the
mites and their eggs are eliminated? Also, how long should I expect to use it
before I start seeing results?

Some rosaceans may have acne concurrently
with their rosacea. I have been doing some
searching on acne sites and found this one
http://acne.org/
This site was put together by Daniel W. Kern
and if you check it out you will be impressed
with all the work he has done. The most
amazing accomplishment to me is that his
forum has 23,627 registered members! I
thought David Pascoe had done a remarkable
job at bringing together 5850 rosaceans together,
but as you can see acne is a much bigger
problem than rosacea. I wonder how many of
those with acne have rosacea concurrently?
I think this whole problem of 'reddness' is
not fully understood at all and the different
skin conditions that keep coming up in the
forums keeps getting larger and larger.
Another interesting site that claims to be
non profit is this one which you should
check out
http://skincell.org/
The above site has 5697 members which
also gives you an idea of how big the red
skin problem has grown.
Mind-boggling, isn't it?
