Rosacea Rant
Over the years that I have suffered from rosacea the number one thing that doctors recommend to reduce redness is laser treatment. Why is that? Is it because that's the easiest thing for them to recommend? Is it because they don't have to think about anything else that may effectively reduce or eliminate the redness? Maybe it's because there is really nothing else that can help?
With all the lotions, medications, and types laser treatments out there, there is really nothing that a doctor (at least any that I've had over the years) can do to eliminate rosacea and all of its symptoms.
What really irritates me is that no doctor (that I know of) talks about inflammation or how to reduce the redness and swelling caused by inflammation. Whether is it dietary changes or medications. That is something that can be done about rosacea.
It just ticks me off...

Onreltea review
I'm always curious when I find out about a product that claims to get rid of or reduce the redness caused by rosacea as to whether or not they actually work.
When I mentioned to my dermatologist that the redness on my face was driving me crazy his first recommendation was laser treatments. When I said no to that option he then recommended a cream product called Onreltea, wrote a prescription for 5 refills, and gave me a couple sample tubes to try out. He then mentioned that this cream costs about $100 (gasp!)
On my way home I stopped at a pharmacy and inquired about the cost. The pharmacist looked in up, looked at me, looked back at the computer, finally looking back at me and said "well...it costs $134 after dispensing fees". WHAT?!?! This better be a miracle cream I thought to myself. I thanked the pharmacist for the information saying that I hadn't decided if I was going to fill the prescription or not.
The next day I decided to try the cream, not knowing how it is to be used - because it didn't come with directions and the dermatologist didn't say anything - and was extremely disappointed with how the cream worked. It didn't! So, I went online and eventually found the directions on how to properly use this cream.
The results you can see in the video below.
Bottom line - yes, it does reduce the redness caused by rosacea but I'm still undecided if I'm actually going to buy this or not.
Have you tried Onreltea? If so, what was your experience with it like? Please share in the comments below.
