Worst flare in a long time
I've been an avid ivermectin/metronidazole user for going on 7 years. Vanicream spf, moisturizer, and cleanser. Avene thermal water and gentle cleanser at times. I woke up to the worst flare since before I started treatments probably. I'm making this post because after years of refusing antibiotics I think I should give doxycycline a shot.
I recently finished a round of steroids for a super bad poison ivy rash. I went to an urgent care clinic so of course normal care or any concern of side effects of rosacea using steroids was not mentioned, and only towards the end of the treatment did I learn I could have potential, and in my case terrible, side effects.
I had the best facial skin of my life from just a week of steroids -_- and I just want my face to be clear because when I looked in the mirror I was so incredibly happy and now I'm just crying.
I work out of a hot delivery truck so I don't have much hope of ever avoiding all triggers, because I work out in the elements. I am just reaching out to see if anyone has ever had good outcomes from antibiotics.
Thank you in advance!
