I've been using MetroGel 1% Topical Gel (pump) 55gm for the past few months to treat my rosacea, and I've seen some improvements, but I also have some concerns. First, let me say that this gel has helped reduce the redness and bumps on my face. However, I've experienced some side effects like dry skin and occasional stinging, which can be quite uncomfortable. I've tried to mitigate this by using a gentle moisturizer afterwards, but I'm wondering if anyone else has found a good way to manage these side effects. Additionally, I'm a bit worried about the more serious side effects mentioned in the product information. Has anyone else had any nasty experiences with this medication? And how do you know when to seek medical attention? It's all a bit overwhelming. I think it's important to share our experiences to help others navigate this treatment.
