rosacea
"I suffered from rosacea for years, but as I went through menopause it seemed to decrease in frequency.  However, when it did pop up it was more intense, so the last time I had an outbreak I finally broke down and asked my new doctor for something and he gave me MetroGel.  I was a bit dismayed to read the label that it could take 3-6 weeks to be effective, but like several others here I literally saw results after the first application.  I applied it at bedtime and was quite surprised the first night to find my face noticeably less inflamed the next morning, and smoother.  I have used it several nights in a row now and my face seems to be healing from this latest outbreak much more quickly than I could ever have expected."
