For anyone with Rosacea, I have sympathy! Me too. That’s trickier. The Dermatologist is the best place to go. They tried antibiotics and - of course - my allergies caught up with that. They tried Blu Ray Light therapy. That worked until, you guessed it, I reacted. But I would seriously check there. Like I said, the Bion Tears are my standby for eyes, and both my Opthamologist and the Neuro opthamologist at Mayo told me; Hold a warm wrung out wet wash cloth (clean of course) on the closed lids at wake up and at bedtime. You see, my lids were getting caked with sebum - can happen after surgeries of the eye, which I’ve had my share of. I didn’t believe it till I tried it. Then I clean them off with Bion Tears on a Q-Tip careful not to get that thing in your eye because you’ll surely feel it. Other than that, ask your eye doctor exactly. I’m no Doctor - just an alumni of allergy hell! Haha. @admeliora

@admeliora Allergies are fun! Have docs ever associated them with ET and increased histamines that go with?

Yah, have seen the dermo: Daily moisturizer after metrogel, minocycline helps with flare-ups. He wasn't real interested.
