Gabapentin and neurogenic rosacea

2017-11-06 21:13:00
I have been diagnosed with neurogenic rosacea - suffering with burning, flushing and redness. I have been having IPL to control the flushing and redness which has been helping slightly however, I was given gabapentin to control the severe burning. Will gabapentin help with the flushing and redness? or will I have to continue with the IPL's?
