very drying but it did work

Feels good on the face. Only been using it a few days but I already look forward to using it. I get flat red "bumps" that sort of hurt like a sunburn, only very slightly. The metro is great for that.
Working / Worked
Worked on my real pimples when they came around but not much for the pustules(?) of rosacea.

Ive been using MetroGel for about 8 years now it works the best for me.
Working / Worked
I sitll use it, but only before bed.
I wonder how many women don't know that vaginal infections can cause IC flares? It is 90% of my problem. Weekly metrogel can keep my IC under control in most cases. Now I'm experiencing loss of estrogen due to menopause so I've got a second problem. But I believe every woman with IC should regularly check for vaginal infections.
Working / Worked
Worked for six weeks and then stopped.
