rosacea
"I have been taking Efracea ( the UK name for Oracea I believe) for nearly two weeks now. I would say that for the first 7-10 days my skin was somewhat worse: it was aggravated in that there seemed to be more spots, more obvious red rashly pimples/whiteheads but now at day 12 there is finally a definite improvement.  It seemed during the first 7-10 days like the medicine was "forcing out toxins" - I know that's not science but that is how I would describe it.  The redness is now reduced.  The spots and bumps have gradually shrunken and reduced. My skin feels smoother when I run my fingers over it and looks smoother in the mirror.  This is all over my face.  My face looks less puffy. I can't believe the improvement.  no side effects for me"
