I detail this specific situation in the posts entitled, “troubled skin” and “the epidemic misconception of rosacea” you can use the search box to find them here. The traditional medical system is not yet equipped for this stubborn situation. I know it well because I lived with it for 10 years and am still prone to it without some effort.

I’ll be in the Ask Dr. Neal section if you need,

I would like to congratulate you for this nice web site. I found the information very helpful. My name is andres. I m 35 years old. I had acne since 12 and at age of 16 took Roaccutan for 6 months. think 2 pills a day. It work perfectly and cleanned my skin from acné. Last year i went to see my dermatologist and gave me some cream for seborrehic dermatitis, i use it and since then i started having spots. Then acne came back badly with big spots full of puss. I went to see another dermatologis, and gave me minocin 100 mg and a cream called Rosex, it work fine, after 1 week acne almost was control, my skin dried, and there were no spots for a while. But last christmas it came back again in a really heavy spread, saw my dermatologist a week ago and gave minocin 100mg and rosex again. I m thinking using also Aloe vera or Sabila, what do you think? The doctor said i have rosacea, and doesn t know exactly why do I have acné. I would like to know your opinion about it and what could I do for curing my acne. Also if you have got another way of treatment.

My skin is white, i have black hair, and also had some problems in my eye, something called Coriorretinopatía central serosa. Some liquid inside my rethine in the macula. Was treated with laser. Is not yet perfect.

Thanks in advance.
