It is such an individual condition. My husband has had quite severe rosacea for the past 15+ yrs. He was using oral abx and Metro Gel, then a topical abx. He had several laser tx and it would get better than flare up at odd times.

We moved here over a year ago and he plays golf 5x a week average. He is not using any of those products any longer. He has not had a flare since we moved here and he only uses a clear zinc suncreen 70% on his nose.

It hadn't even occurred to me that he has not had a flare up, until I read this thread. We just talked about it and he confirmed that he has quit all of his meds. His skin looks pretty good! (for a rugged manly man)

No rhyme or reason!
