Given that if it works you may be on it for years, you don't want to hit the maximum intake amount quickly, it needs to work slowly over time--rosacea/seb derm treatment with accutane is much different than trying to treat cystic acne. And since when are you taking a derm's advice? I think you know more than they do. Also, regarding oral anti-fungals, I tried diflucan a few years ago--didn't do anything--these drugs are also potentially very dangerous and are not a long term solution anyway because as soon as you stop taking them, the fungus comes back anyway--not even worth messing with these in my opinion. Aside from the potential problems it can wreak on your liver long term, it is possible to have sudden death with oral anitfungals (meaning one dose can kill you). <!--more--> Have you tried the Ovace Gel and Protopic combo yet? The Ovace gel (not cleanser) provides rather gentle removal of the fungus, bacteria, and sebum/dead skin buildup on the skin. The Protopic used underneath the Ovace reduces the redness and inflammation. This combo has been really working well for me for about 10 months now. I think this combo has somehow changed my inflammation characteristics in the sense that now my flares are mild redness and some flaking on a bad day, total clearance on a good day. Before I started this regimen, I would get the really raw, deep red oozing and crusting for months at a time all through my eyebrows, around nose and most of my forehead--I have not had flare like that for 10 months. My skin is no longer has that really tight feeling either. RJ I would agree Tim–look at Dr. Nase’s advice on accutane–I beleive he

In fact it made my scalp burn but it was pretty aggravated to begin with. We are all so different! I also tried low dose accutane, i have heard of people having good success with it. Unfortunately my derm had me on too high a dose (40 mgs) he said anything less would be too low. Which was more than I could handle and think made my seb derm and rosacea worse. Still trying to recover from that six months later. So my advice would be to err on the side of caution, you can always up the dosage! I am also thinking about Threelac but am not sure where to get it.. can someone please point me in the right direction? Have a great weekend, <!--more--> Amanda in Atlanta Hi there-
