Is Is Proved That Roaccutan (isotretinoina) Works?

[Luli]

My dermatologist told me to use the Roaccutan pills, but I'm not sure if it's proved that it works in rosacea, and if it does, how does it work? Besides, I'm in the "phase one" of rosacea (I get red cheeks and nose with stress and temperature changes, but nothing else yet) and I'm dealing pretty well with metronidazol. Metronidazol "stops" it where you are? I don't want to get worse.

Thanks!

Lucia,

Isotretinoin [Accutane, Roaccutan] has been used for acne and rosacea for some time now. Low does treatment is preferred. It takes time for the MAC members to reply to your questions, but be patient and hopefully one of the MAC members will reply. Your English is fine. Thanks for the question.

MAC Members,

What I want to know sooner as possible is: Do you think I should take isotretinoin pills? I just get a red face sometimes (flush), I don't have pustles or papules. I'd like to know what would you do in this case. What's your advice for me?

Thanks!

Lucia
