Kelli's Rosacea Blog
and other nonsensical ramblings
July 26, 2007 UPDATE!
Howdy!
Not sure if anyone comes to this site. I've had a lot going on over the last year, so I haven't checked in to anything rosacea related. You can take that as a good thing, I guess. I am doing VERY well since my accutane over a year ago. I am not cured, but I am able to keep it under control. I still don't wash my face, because it seems to irritate it, but I do use Finacia in the morning, then I use Aveeno redness relief night time moisturizor on top. I use a powder foundation, which I had not been able to use in many many years, and it has SPF in it, so my face stays protected.
I'm sorry I've disappeared. I do hope everyone is doing well. I've been asked a few times what my dosage was on Accutane. I was on the lowest dosage, I believe 10mg once daily. I was on that for about 6-8 months. I stopped it and then I started maintenance with the Finacea. Here's the newest picture of me taken a month ago. (Sorry it's in B&W. I couldn't find the color image. I'll try and hunt it down. Even though I am a graphic designer, I did not do any clean up to this photo, other than convert it to grayscale.)
Thanks!
Kelli
