    Please learn from my mistakes and do not go here for treatment. Dr. Taub had a laser technician do my treatments, and rarely had contact with me once the initial consult was over. I suffered complications including swelling plus welts all over my face because the settings used were too high. I was...

    I used metrogel, prescribed by my GP in 2000. I had a six month course. It did improve my rosacea, but I hated the treatment. Although I only applied the gel thinly, I found that during the day it dried out and started peeling off my face like dried PVA glue. The treatment was worse than the illness...

But it only went so far. And, it cost a lot. And it's a drug with unknown long-term side effects. ...
