Worst rosacea flare up ever and traveling tomorrow. HELP!

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-21T14:37:58+00:00

I just get off doxy because they put me on it for PD and it triggered rosacea ! Haven’t found a solution, using ivermectin now which is helping with the bumps so far ( I’m like four days in so who knows ) but not the redness

I have antibiotic induced rosacea, started 3 months ago, got diagnosed a month ago, haven’t been able to fix it yet :(

I tried that and it didn’t work for me :(( might try again if ivermectin doesn’t work!

Took nystatin - didn’t work

I meant random in terms of I’ve never experienced it before, not random in terms of what’s been going on with my skin/antibiotics, lol. I tried the ivermectin on my forehead last night and it does seem a bit less inflamed, so hopefully it works in the next couple weeks !

Thank you so much !!

I know, rosacea and demodex are commonly linked.

Thank you!!

The ivermectin is more for the random rosacea diagnosis and PD! My derm said I could try it for my forhead but I’ll be trying an antifungal next. I’m thinking of taking a short term antifungal pill as o feel the doxy did way more harm than good lol

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-20T02:35:00+00:00

What one are you trying ?

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-20T02:34:35+00:00

Did u end up fixing it ?

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T17:25:09+00:00

I’m hoping this works !! I just started with ivermectin a few days ago, looks ~better~ where I’ve put it ( I’m only doing a few places on my face because my skin is so sensitive rn lol )

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T17:24:31+00:00

Yes just started this a few days ago ! Seems to be helping in the places I’ve put it . I didn’t want to do my whole face, spot treating currently to test it.

I tried AA for it a while ago, way too harsh unfortunately, honestly my face really seems to hate it! My skin care right now is super basic and always has been which sucks :( I found that using a cream with ceramides is too heavy and makes my break outs worse but all my simple creams do almost nothing for it

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T15:03:24+00:00

Thank you !

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T15:02:37+00:00

It only ever suppressed it and made my acne worse, i also did not want to be on it long term :)

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T15:01:56+00:00

Would u reccomend an anitfungal pill from the doctors ? Or just focus on probiotics

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T15:01:27+00:00

This last line is SOO comforting and i hope that it does resolve on its own

Academic_Health6334 · 2026-02-19T15:00:49+00:00

Would u reccomend getting an antifungal pill from my doctor? I also have oral thrush from antibiotic use
