Acne rosacea and metronidazole

Does topical metronidazole work for acne rosacea?

Even though doctors often prescribe topical metronidazole for acne rosacea, it frequently does not work; I would not waste my money on this crap. Most topical products for acne rosacea do not work. I would recommend trying out a topical retinoid. You have to be realistic and patient. Some patients do obtain great results. Speak to your doctor, as you will need a prescription for a retinoid.
