melissa in N.Y.C.

Hi everyone,
I am in need of some recommendations. I was diagnosed with rosacea about a year ago but I had no problems until October. I became flushed with an intense burning for 2 full days. My derm prescribed Solodyne (45 mg.) which I am still taking. That has helped with the papules. I was unable to continue any topicals because my skin is too sensitive. All of the topicals i.e. metrocream, rosac, rosula caused an even more intense flushing and burning.
I still flush everyday with an intense burning which feels as if acid is on my face. Very unbearable. Anyway I have been doing lots of reading and it seems as if IPL in conjunction with Yag nd laser 1064nm might be helpful for the flushing and burning.
So I was hoping someone would know a derm in or around the NYC area that would be able to help me. I have been searching without any success. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry for the long post- I am just feeling so overwhelmed right now and am at a loss as to what to do.
Thanks so much for your time.
Best wishes,
Melissa

Hi Phlika,
Thanks so much for your response!
I'll take a look (I'm relatively new to computer use so it sometimes takes me a while to figure out how to do stuff.

Thanks again!
Kind regards,
