I've been struggling with acne and rosacea for a while now, and my dermatologist recommended Sumaxin Pads. They contain sulfur and sulfacetamide, which are supposed to help dry out blemishes and reduce bacteria on the skin. I'm a bit hesitant because of the potential side effects, especially the rare but severe ones. Has anyone else used these pads? How effective were they, and did you experience any side effects? I'd love to hear your experiences before I start using them.

I've been using Metronidazole 0.75% Topical Lotion for the past month to treat my rosacea, and I've noticed a significant reduction in redness and bumps on my face. However, I've also experienced some side effects like mild burning and stinging. I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication. How long did it take for you to see improvements? Did you experience any side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any unexpected side effects or tips for minimizing discomfort while using this topical treatment. My dermatologist mentioned this medication isn't always well received, and some people have an allergic reaction. I've been careful to look out for symptoms like rash, hives, or trouble breathing. I've also been monitoring my mood for any changes mentioned in the warning information, but I'm otherwise happy with the progress so far.
