I had acne since I was a teenager. It kind of went away but not completely from 25-45. Came back with a vengeance. Tried tetracycline but didn't cure it. Finally took Accutane. I know, bad on liver, knees, joints, dries up everything (and I mean everything, send me Freepmail I'll explain further).

Finally at 53 I'm pretty much over it. Yeah, I suffer a little for having taken it. Joints will never be the same, lost some hair on my arms (weird one I know), still dry in several areas (unmentionables included), but no more rosacea.

Anyone wanting to try Accutane, contact me. I'll clue you in.

Fortunately I don’t have Rosacea. At one time my doc thought I had it but ultimately diagnosed transient (and recurring) seborrheic dermatitis. A dab of triamcinolone on flare ups quickly tames it for a month or so. Repeat. And it is worse in extreme heat and under stress. Fortunately weather has turned a mite cooler. Also I will soon have free healthcare as Obama has promised and all my worries are over.
