Rosacea Support Group
Rosacea is a common but often misunderstood condition that is estimated to affect over 45 million people worldwide. It begins as flushing and redness on the central face and across the cheeks, nose, or forehead but can also affect the neck, chest, scalp or ears.

Overall no side effects and am happy to have some success with the drug so far. I'm hoping Mirvaso in combination with managing things that trigger my symptoms will help me.

I did get a little red at work, but I put that down to stress. Once I left work I returned to my acceptable baseline.
I saw Mirvaso advertised and I thought why not give it a go, "what harm could it do"? The first time I used it I noticed an improvement almost immediately, it lasted the whole day and I thought great! I tried it the next day and by 4pm I came out in a burning rebound which I had never experienced before.
I stopped using the medication after that and I have experienced very bad flushing ever since and my baseline redness is now noticeable to people!
It is now almost 60 days since I stopped using it and my life has changed. I now know what flushing is and not a minute goes by that I dont think about what colour my skin is. It's not like I can try and forget about it as it now burns me most of the time.
I have seen a consultant dermatologist and he prescribed me Minocycline 100mg mr caps one a day. I will see how this goes hopefully it will help!
The makers of Mirvaso, Galderma, have not been any help and I just think they are ignoring my situation. I really hope I get someway back to my pre Mirvaso state but I'm not hopeful.
