I honestly wouldn't know if spraying sumatriptan on your face would be beneficial... I asked for it to be taken orally but my GP refused, despite dr Chu suggesting it. She says it has way too many serious potential side effects and patients using it need very strict screening. Not sure if she tried to scare me but she also mentioned risk of heart attacks and what not. It is supposed to constrict the blood vessels in the face, leading to the brain. That;s how it should help with migraine, but I didn't push it with my GP as she seriously made me worried about this drug. I'll ask Dr Chu about it when I see him again later this year. But maybe spraying it on your face would also help and give less serious side effects. However, so far all the topical vasoconstrictors (like Mirvaso and brimonidine) have had big issues with the rebound vasodilation that automatically follows such an unnatural constriction. The body and brain over compensates, to correct the situation. I wouldn't be surprised if this would also happen with sumariptan, but I don't know of anyone who has ever tried it yet, so who knows. Just be careful with this drug though, in general I mean.

I take it for migraines and it is a nasal spray so it is in liquid form. I am wondering about spraying it on my face. I posted the question on the forum too. I guess I could to a test patch and see. Thanks again for keeping your blog updating. I love all your pictures too.<br /><br />PippaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015332149890513796.post-70210791843638869882014-04-30T16:11:37.428-07:002014-04-30T16:11:37.428-07:00Hi Pippa,
someone actually asked about Lidocaine ...Hi Pippa,<br /><br />someone actually asked about Lidocaine on The Rosacea Forum very recently: http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?23891-Whats-all-this-phantom-burning-about-eh-Neurogenic-Rosacea-AKA-Burning-but-no-flush/page4<br />I posted there a link to a very good article on rosacea by a prof. and she also mentions Lidocaine as a possible treatment option, although there have not been many on the forum who have tried this, or at least reported on it. Someone is about to try it though she wrote. http://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/776148_transcript<br />With regards to botox, there is a member called Arb161 there who saw a specialist for her botox treatmenst for rosacea in New York. And Mat83 also mentioned he had succes with botox here: http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?30604-Mirvaso-recoveryScarlet Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109388039163423418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015332149890513796.post-48528223325535494002014-04-29T19:37:00.720-07:002014-04-29T19:37:00.720-07:00Thanks-I wouldn't even know where to look in t...Thanks-I wouldn't even know where to look in the US. I guess I'd be more inclined to try this than IPL since I have vascular rosacea with burning and the botox would wear off after a time. <br />On an unrelated note-I did a search and didn't find any hits on this but have you heard anyone using lidocaine on the burning? It's supposed to deaden the nerves for a bit.

I know Prof. Tony Chu from Hammermsith hospital (dermatologist) has had a colleague treat some of his rosacea patients with botox. I can have a look at the forums for more info/names, but I have no way of checking how reliable, safe and experienced they are so I am a bit hesitant.. Will have a look though.
