Topical Ketamine
Topical Ketamine has long been used by diabetics to treat diabetic neuropathy, a burning sensation of the skin. Question is... Could it be used on rosaceans? At the moment this is all theory and speculation.
For anyone looking at researching the papers behind these suggestions, Public Medline is the best place to start. Note that these topicals are very much "experimental" at this stage although they clearly hold lots of promise. The great thing is that with a prescription you can could potentially get them fulfilled by a compounding pharmacy.
Couple of abstracts on Topical Ketamine:

Please post a comment if you try these new experimental topicals.
