Metrodinazole(flagyl) tablet can be used on face for rosacea inflammation ? Would it have same effect as a metrogel or lotion ?
I am having rosacea symptoms for more than 2 years i ignored it thinking acne like tiny bumps but they left spots and redness increased as the bumps increased now i want to get rid of these tiny bumps , papules and redness would flagyl tablet mixed with lotion help in this regard because i can not find metrolotion or metrocream ?
Or any other active ingredient would help

Mixing Flagyl tablet with a lotion and applying it to the face is an interesting proposition. Personally, I do not think it is the same as applying metronidazole cream/lotion.
The other topical cream that will help is called Skinoren cream. It contains Azelaic acid. Some studies show that it is superior to metronidazole cream. I am not sure how easy it is to obtain this cream in your country. I believe consulting a dermatologist is your best option.
Other than medications, identifying and controlling the factors that trigger your rosacea is important. Good skin care - applying a moisturizer regularly, gentle skin cleansing with a mild soap is important too. Applying sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure might also help.
I hope you find a solution to your problem.
Yes i have consulted a dermatologist he prescribed me doxycycline which had no effect. he was also confused because of the redness and bumps progress , on second visit i asked if i have rosacea then he said yes only and told me to try rozex cream ,i am scared to use because i heard it reacts badly to some people ; I will try skinoren cream i just need a prescription for it then i can use it hope it does not have any side effects if i stop using it .
I did not try rozex because i heard it has made some people rosacea even worse so was scared to try it .
