I was diagnosed with rosacea, and my dermatologist prescribed Metrogel. It instantly made my skin less reactive, which is good. (The redness I had remained, however.) My question is: the dermatologist expects me to use Metrogel every day forever. Is this reasonable? Are there any side effects/things to worry about? Will it produce any negative changes in my skin?

(One of the reasons I went ahead with the Metrogel is this: I’ve also developed some symptoms of ocular rosacea, and I’ve read that treating the skin rosacea will slow the progress of ocular rosacea.)

Thanks.
