Hi. I’m new to this forum although I’ve been reading vast amounts of information on the site for some time. The one thing I can’t find much about is Rosacea. I’ve had Rosacea for quite some time but as my Parkinson’s progressed so did the Rosacea. I understand there may be a link from what I’ve been reading online and wondered if there are other fellow suffers out there like me who have both? I’d love to know I’m not alone.
My husband’s rosacea has completely healed - I am using Vitamin B12 at 1000 ug.

Thanks redhead01. I shall try vit B12. I don’t think I’ve tried that yet. My GP has prescribed Rozex but I haven’t really had much success with it even after months of use.
Hi do let me know if it helps - good for research ! Good luck hope it works for you too.
Hi Again! Some time back we were discussing Rosacea issues and you said your husband had been using Vit B12 and to let you know how I got on. I did try it for some time but unfortunately didn’t have any success. I now have a GP appointment this week to see if he can suggest something new. Thanks again for your help.
Hi oh that’s a shame - do let me know how you get on although I daresay they will go down the drug route.
Hi
Hi Just wanted to let you know that I was given a course of Lymecycline which worked brilliantly - until I finished the course. The effects worked for about 6 months which I suppose is something but has now returned as before 
. Oh well, it was worth a go. I’m now back on the metronidazole gel which helps slightly.
Hi @SC, thanks for sharing your update. It’s good to hear you had a period where things improved, even if it was frustrating that the effects didn’t last.
Having something work, even for a while, can help point towards what gives some relief.
Hopefully the gel continues to offer some help, and others may find it useful to hear about your experience too
