I’m a rosacea sufferer. It’s that facial condition where you look like you have bad acne along with a super bad sunburn that never goes away.

Unsightly and forces people into isolation. Including me when I have a relapse.
No cure, they still don’t know for sure what it is. Mild antibiotics for inflammation, topicals for the bumps and redness. Many topicals which seem to bring relief are prescription and can be as high as $700 for a tube ( that’s WITH my insurance- needless to say, I do without it). I have ordered my other topical online from Australia for $70 a tube versus $150 here in the states with insurance.

Turns out, Ivermectin (“horse paste” )has shown promise. Many sufferers are desperate and trying it. It apparently suppresses the mites on the face which are present on everyone, but which are the cause of irritation on some who suffer with rosacea.

It’s my next step because I’m tired of spending obscene amounts of money on doctors who are clueless and on Rx’s which don’t work or are just too expensive.
