Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a severe rosacea flair with bumps and rash on cheeks. I have been using topical generic Metrocream and generic doxycycline hyclate 50 mg for 4 days and my face has severe swelling that continues to worsen. I have stopped the metrocream and doxy as of today. I have used these same drugs with previous flairs with some swelling but not as significant as this time. Do you have a recommendation?
Some advice that I can give to you to treat rosacea would be: I see that you are already taking the right medication. You can also try Brimonidine (Mirvaso) gel which is a gel that tightens blood vessels in the skin to get rid of some of your redness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
General & Family Physician
