I’ve had T2 rosacea over a year and a half now (58 yo/post menopause). I’ve tried everything except ivermectin 1% and doxycycline. M
The only thing that kind of has worked is azalaic acid but once it clears the inflamed areas come back as well as the pustules. I use it daily 2x/day. My insurance doesn’t cover the ivermectin but I found a good coupon with goodrx and am finally getting it (down to $80 🙄)… I’m awaiting for it to arrive via UPS as we speak. I’m worried as I see many people say it gets worse before better!? I also am worried about the doxy as I have Crohn’s disease and have had to have many surgeries to remove intestines. Let’s just say me and antibiotics are not friends. Should I try the ivermectin alone first? I really don’t want to be on an antibiotic if I don’t have to.
