Finacea (azelaic acid) for Rosacea "Used it three days and on third day got so dizzy I had to lean on the wall and couldn't stand. It worked on the redness immediately so I was happy but the dizziness was extreme. I washed it off and after two hours the dizziness went away. I'm in my 60's and read somewhere a couple others had this problem with it. Also gave me tinnitus and hoping that goes away. I wish I had never tried this."

For Rosacea "Azaleic acid 15% gel was prescribed for my mild rosacea. Within 5 minutes of applying it my face was beet red and swollen. It was burning and my breathing felt labored. I obviously am allergic to this product which sucks because my skin is sensitive to everything."
