| 1 | rosacea | none - yet? | according to the package insert metronidazole causes cancer in mice and rats but not hamsters. I'd rather have rosacea than cancer. (I was taking the gel version of this drug.) | F | 36 | 5 days | 3/22/2006 | 5 | Rosacea | None! | I am so happy that I finally found a dermatologist smart enough to put me on metrolotion. I am incredibly fair-skinned and for several years I had been getting very red, very hot cheeks at some point during almost every day and didn't know why...when I started applying metrolotion twice a day my symptoms disappeared almost immediately. I definitely notice, too, when I skip a dose. | F | 26 | 3 years | 7/13/2005 |
