How Does MetroGel Work?
-
Diagnosis of Rosacea
-
MetroGel is used to control outbreaks of a skin disorder known as rosacea. This skin disorder affects the facial region with acne-like bumps as well as covering the face with a red hue. Other signs of rosacea include visible blood vessels on the face and watery, irritated eyes. It is estimated that more than 14 million Americans suffer from rosacea. While there is no cure for it, MetroGel was designed to reduce and counter the effects of rosacea.
Where and How to Apply
-
MetroGel should be applied only on the skin and should avoid contact with the eyes, ears, and nose. Only the area that is red or containing the "acne" is to be treated. You should wash the inflamed area and let dry. Apply a small amount of the gel and rub methodically into the skin. This process should be repeated twice a day unless otherwise directed by a physician. Results usually take at least a couple of weeks before they are readily noticeable.

Active Ingredients

Before You Use MetroGel

Consult a physician before trying MetroGel. People with known allergies to creams are at risk, as well as people with blood disorders . Also, MetroGel is known to be ineffective when combined with other types of medicines, so discretion should be used.
