rosacea
"Day 1 of rosacea flareup - thought I was having an allergic reaction to seafood.  My face turned red and swollen, my chest was covered in a rash.  I took Benadryl that did nothing other than make me sleep.



Day 2 - symptoms got worse with my skin hurting but realized it was Rosacea.  I had a tube of Metronidazole cream that I put on immediately relieving the pain.  



Day 3 - skin looks much better today.  Started on Minocycline 50 mg. qid.  Couldn’t sleep because of itching.



Day 4 - less redness and swelling.  No itching.



Day 5 and on - cheeks still red but otherwise look normal.  Rash is gone.  After stopping the Metronidazole, skin texture gradually returned to normal.  I’m still on the antibiotic."
