Angry Increased redness from prescription drugs

Question for my fellow KPRF sufferers:

Have any of you experienced increased facial flushing from using Finacea or Wellbutrin?

I've been using both for the past months and over this time have noticed an increase in the redness on my cheeks both in terms of constant inflammation and the area of redness, now from my temples down to below my jawline.

I'm only using the Finacea because my dermatologists yelled at me last time for resisting their request to try Finacea, when I knew that it was not going to work for me. Well, 8 weeks into using it and my face is redder than before, to the extent that even the Eucerin Redness Relief cover up is not as effective as before.

I was wondering if anyone on either of these drugs noticed any more flushing because it is not listed as a side effect for either drugs.

well 8 weeks is a very long time and no improvement, i know sometimes things get worse before they get better when using prescription drugs, but if i were you i would stop using them if it bothers you. i was put on accutane because my dermo is a retard and didnt know what to prescribe me, and i stopped taking it after a week because of the hundreds of side effects.
