Pros
- Also Metronidazole is another good one.
- I ended up having to get a couple of the more stubborn lesions cultured, and was on a round of Augmentin and Metronidazole, which also helped with the extremely deep cystic lesions on my face early in treatment.
- In the evening, I applied a thin layer of metronidazole only on the affected areas, nothing else. Next morning, even more softer. So I continued to only use ONE moisturizer and a thin layer, and metronidazole once a day. It looks better...
- i got prescribed metronidazole for perioral dermatitis and it has helped a decent amount.
- One thing that greatly helped me is the medication Metronidazole. It’s a ointment that you have to be prescribed. I already had it on hand so i used that until it cleared up and now I only need to use it like 2x a week.

I ended up having to get a couple of the more stubborn lesions cultured, and was on a round of Augmentin and Metronidazole, which also helped with the extremely deep cystic lesions on my face early in treatment.
I was prescribed an antibiotic pill (doxycycline), a daily cream (metronidazole), and a dandruff facial shampoo to use for about 6 weeks until a follow up appt. My skin did start to seem to be improving a little shortly after starting those, however I just started week 2 and now my face is worse than it was before even going to the derm with the issue.
In the evening, I applied a thin layer of metronidazole only on the affected areas, nothing else. Next morning, even more softer. So I continued to only use ONE moisturizer and a thin layer, and metronidazole once a day. It looks better day by day.
