For Acne "I had super bad acne for about half a year, and it was awful. My dermatologist at first put me on creams like Aczone and Epiduo and an antibiotic called Doxycycline Monohydrate. My skin started to look better. The dermatologist switched my antibiotic to a different drug called minocycline. This cleared up my face but started making some of my acne scars look even darker! I then switched back to my normal, until last December I began having a major allergic reaction to the Epiduo. It was awful! I stopped using it and continued with the pill and with the Aczone. I started to break out again, and I'm hoping that starting Finacea will keep me acne-free again!"

Azelaic acid topical for Rosacea "Used it three days, and on the 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 60s and read somewhere a couple of others had this problem with it. Also gave me tinnitus and hoping that goes away. I wish I had never tried this."
