  1. "Mindfulness, defined as purposively and nonjudgementally paying attention in the present moment, could be used within psychosocial interventions to reduce the distress associated with social anxiety and avoidance found in many skin conditions....The findings indicate that higher levels of mindfulness are associated with lower distress. This suggests that facilitating mindfulness may be helpful in reducing distress in dermatology patients, and the use of mindfulness techniques warrants further investigation."

  3. It has now been over one week since I started using Soolantra. I apply it in the evening just before bed. After the fourth day I had about four or five white capped papules appear on my cheeks which I removed. On the eighth day I have noticed an improvement.  I apply it over the red spots on my forehead and cheeks. Attached are photos on day eight.

  4. Abstract
    Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli (EFF) is an unusual condition characterized by the triad of hyperpigmentation, follicular plugging and erythema of face and neck. This is less common in women and familial case reports are few. We report EFF in three siblings in an Indian family, two of whom are females. The possibility of this condition being genetically related to keratosis pilaris as well as being a variant of keratosis rubra pilaris is also discussed.

    Abstract
    The thirteenth case of erythromelanosis follicularis of the face and neck is reported and attention is called to this entity. Characteristically, it affects males in adolescence or young adulthood. It begins symmetrically on the preauricular cheeks and imperceptibly spreads onto the temples and lateral aspects of the neck. It presents as an irregularly marginated, red-brown pigmentation with fine telangiectasia, small, pale, slightly scaly, follicular papules, and patchy alopecia of vellus hair. The histologic features, although nondiagnostic, correlate well with the clinical features. The possible relationship to keratosis pilaris rouge is discussed.

    "In view of its association with keratosis pilaris at arms and shoulders, this condition may be more common than previously thought but prevalence studies are lacking. Rosacea is a chronic facial dermatosis characterized by central facial erythema and flushing with varying presentations comprising papules, pustules, phymatous features and ocular irritation. Childhood and adolescent rosacea has been noted in case reports and case series."

    "The dysasthesia can be very disturbing for many patients and improved with amytriptyline or gabapentin." 

    Rosacea: Choosing Among the Topical and Systemic Therapeutic Options
    As the field of therapies available for rosacea has expanded, clinicians must weigh the topical and oral treatment options on a case-by-case basis
    By Mark Bechtel, MD and Ann Bechtel, BSN, Practical Dermatology

    "Dysesthesia (or dysaesthesia) means "abnormal sensation". Its etymology comes from the Greek word "dys," meaning "bad," and "aesthesis," which means "sensation" (abnormal sensation). It is defined as an unpleasant, abnormal sense of touch. It often presents as pain[1] but may also present as an inappropriate, but not discomforting, sensation. It is caused by lesions of the nervous system, peripheral or central, and it involves sensations, whether spontaneous or evoked, such as burning, wetness, itching, electric shock, and pins and needles....It is sometimes described as feeling like acid under the skin. Burning dysesthesia might accurately reflect an acidotic state in the synapses and perineural space. Some ion channels will open to a low pH, and the acid sensing ion channel has been shown to open at body temperature, in a model of nerve injury pain. Inappropriate, spontaneous firing in pain receptors has also been implicated as a cause of dysesthesia." Wikipedia

    "Amitriptyline, sold under the brand name Elavil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and a variety of pain syndromes from neuropathic pain to fibromyalgia to migraine and tension headaches." Wikipedia

    "Gabapentin, sold under the brand name Neurontin among others, is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat partial seizures and neuropathic pain." Wikipedia

  7. "A number of studies in the psychodermatological literature show that skin disorders have a negative impact on the psychological and emotional health of some of those affected. These effects include depression, a decreased sense of body image and self-esteem, sexual and relationship difficulties and a general reduction in quality of life."

    "The Face Values: Global Perceptions Survey aimed primarily to assess the impact of facial erythema associated with rosacea on the subconscious perceptions and initial reactions of others, including those affected by the condition. It assessed how these perceptions may affect their attitudes and choices about people with rosacea in relation to work, in relationships and in general social settings. This approach builds on a previous US study in people who had signs of mild to moderate papular/pustular rosacea and which highlighted consistent differences in attitudes toward those with rosacea versus images of people with clear skin (Kelton Research 2009, data on file)." [1]

  8. "There are few validated methods of assessing improvement in rosacea, possibly due to the multiplicity of outcomes collected. Selective outcome reporting bias, defined as results-based selection of outcomes for publication, is a problem in many clinical trials and affects the conclusions of a significant proportion of systematic reviews." [1] Nevertheless, here are a number of resources for your consideration if you are contemplating entering a rosacea clinical trial.

    “In the study population, Oracea Capsules reduced the inflammatory biomarkers associated with rosacea,” said Dr. Philip Brown, MD, JD, Senior Vice President, Medical and Regulatory Affairs, Galderma Laboratories, L.P. “Those with the best treatment outcomes showed a greater reduction in the associated biomarkers. This information could help us continue to develop even more effective treatments for meaningful, lasting relief of the symptoms associated with this common skin condition.”

  10. Please note: This review was sometime back and you can see the dates of each post in this thread. My current regimen for rosacea can be viewed in my Rosacea Blog. However, in the spirit of 'everything rosacea' I have posted my experience using Soolantra for a number of months in this thread for your enjoyment and education. 

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Just got my prescription for Soolantra* today and applied it all over every red spot I have on my face and forehead just before bed. It took over eleven days for my insurance company to approve the prescription drug. I will be posting in this thread my experience using Soolantra. Hoping this works. 

    *My insurance initially would not approve it. I called the insurance company and asked for a second review and after the eleven days of waiting it was approved. Walmart posts that the cost is $346.62 for 30 gram tube.

  18. Demodex Control medicated hair conditioner for itchy and flaky scalp is effective addition to daily anti demodex therapy. It was specifically formulated to kill demodex mites on the scalp, inside hair follicles. The product utilizes a select balance of miticide oils, enriched with herbal extracts, minerals and vitamins.
