Vanoxide-HC (benzoyl peroxide / hydrocortisone) "I developed Rosacea in 1971. I had it for almost 9 years. I went to a dermatologist to figure what it was. At the time I was also taking 12 to 16 Excedrin a day which I told him I was taking. He prescribed an antibiotic. At my 3 week checkup I showed him the bruises on my arm and asked if there was a problem with interactions.He said not. I went to the pharmacy to find out if there was. I found out that it did. I had bruises all over my arms and legs. My clotting time was only 40% of what it should have been. I went to another Dr and she prescribed Vanoxide HC. It took awhile for it to take care of it but it worked. I had a few break outs over the next few years but it always worked. I had to stop using it because the pharmacy in Alaska didn't carry it and there were no mail order prescriptions at the time."
