I realize you're a busy guy, but I never got around to asking this question on the yahoo group. Due to the fact that I live in Indianapolis, Dr. Finkelmeier seems like a good choice. After talking to him though, I felt a little uneasy. I'm not sure if he has a handle on rosacea. My case is fairly mild, but I'd still like to do 5 treatments. He says I need 2 to 3, tops. Also, I have some chronic pink/red colorng on my cheeks, bridge of my nose, and it's just starting on my chin. He doesn't want to treat my chin, I have a very thin goatee, and he doesn't want to burn the hair. I said I have absolutely no problem shaving it off, but he seems reluctant to treat any area my facial hair sprouts from. I'm 24, and my face was clear and smooth only 6 months ago. I don't want for it to get any worse, but I certainly can't afford to fly to Arizona or Oregon every 3 weeks to get treated.
So, sorry to ask you, but do you believe Dr. Finkelmeier knows what he's doing? I read continually that 5 treatments is the minimum, and that the whole flush zone should be treated. I don't mean to make any stink around particular physicians, especially with the issues on the other board, but these are things I was told by a physician that contradict what I've been reading.
