Sleep of Reason: Prednisone is not good for your rosacea. It's a
steroid. At first it's great, your skin seems cured, but then over
time your skin thins and rosacea comes back worse, from what I
understand. I often have patients on long term steroids, and they
often have rosy cheeks. I would wean off off this and find other
alternatives. That said, I most definately appreciate the helping
spirit of your message. Welcome to the group!
Cheers!
